I have one of the Aardvark from RBW and a Brooks and usually carry the Aarvark, as besides rain protection, it hides my B17 rather than advertises it. On May 27, 2014, at 11:59 PM, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > I've been thinking about adding one I'd the Randi Jo covers and appreciate > the positi

I rode for two hours in pretty much a steady pouring rain. It was not intended, just groupthink optimism about the subsequent weather at the beginning of a weekly ride. Two things I noted along the way: everyone took turns following me because I had fenders and was the only "socially responsibl

I've been thinking about adding one I'd the Randi Jo covers and appreciate the positive comments here... But I will say that a paid grocery bag has been my constant cover on my B67 and Flyer sales when necessary this year... It keeps them dry and possibly lower key from an attention/theft perspe

I rode my bike last weekend in the rain with a Randi-Jo cover in place and have done it before. The fabric is a lot more comfortable than a vinyl cover. I also had my bike hanging on the back of a 45' RV last month for a 600-mi drive in the rain and the saddle came out of the trip well. On

I find that I rarely use at the seat cover while I am riding but always use a cover when I am storing or transporting a bike. I have lost many covers off of the seat while driving, especially off of the tandem, which often travels on the roof. The only cover which I can rely on is the Brooks.

i have an aardvark and a randi-jo. the randi-jo is well made and once you factor in the fact that you are buying from a small one-person shop, it doesn't feel so expensive. the only knock i would put against the randi-jo is that due to the straps to button it down it takes a longer to put on

I have that cover that brooks included in the deluxe kit a few years back. I have never used it, was it meant for a real cover or just for show? On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 7:57 PM, 'joe kelly' via RBW Owners Bunch < rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > ive been very happy with the randi jo m

I bought one of the Brooks saddle covers for my B17 last year from my local shop. Fits perfectly and completely water proof. I left it out in a pretty good storm a few weeks ago and when I went to check on it after the rain, the leather was still bone dry. I think it cost me $12. On Tuesday, Ma
