Replaces a damaged fat tire rear wheel holder and wheel strap for your Thule T1 platform bike rack (TH9041) or Thule T2 Classic (TH9044, TH9045, or TH9046) platform bike rack.This rear wheel holder is a great replacement for the old rear wheel holder on my T2 Classic Platform Bike Rack. I have installed it, but haven't had the opportunity to put my bikes on the rack and haul them yet, but the clips and fastening mechanism looks much more substantial and works more smoothly than the original holders that failed.
The product itself works great. It is just like the one we had to replace. However, when I went to order the product I could only find a replacement fat tire rear wheel holder & strap. After making a phone call I was told the fat tire rear wheel holder & strap will fit any tire. It would have been helpful if I didn't have to make a phone call to find this out. It would have been nice if the description would have included this information
No problems with the part. It would be nice to modify the video of the part and show the two options 1. Standard strap position and 2. lengthening the strap to accommodate fat tires by removing the strap and threading it thru on the clip side.
Item works as expected. Only caveat is the strap could've been a couple inches longer to accommodate plus tires.Not a deal breaker, but just something to make note of.
Had to replace the original wheel latch on my Thule rack. One year later the replacement I bought works great.
The process of place the order was very easy. It was pretty hard to find this replacement part but luckily I was able to find it here. Fit perfectly.
etrailer always has the parts I'm looking for to repair my bike racks. I normally think, "There's no way I can find this part anywhere!" But etrailer always has it. Thank you!
Perfectly matches my other rear tie down.
Great description and sizing. Makes it easy to be sure you have the rights you need.

Excellent. Perfect OEM like fit
I purchased these rear wheel holders to replace my worn original ones as pictured given that Thule does not sell any strap buckles.
After installing these newer versions, as you see, the original stop designed on my bicycle carrier was reversed and has the buckle for the strap to engage facing the rear of the vehicle rather than towards the person installing the bicycle on the rack. That is, the original wheel holders had the insert to stop the wheel holder from sliding off on the opposing side of these newer models.
Not a problem, a new hole was drilled on the opposite side and the rack is was good as new,
A little pricey for an old bicycle carrier but I plan to run this for a long time.
etrailer delivered the goods as expected.
Does not ratchet down tight like the original, there is no lack. It’s much smaller than the original and my 2.8 wide tire barely fits in. Rear wheel is not secure.
Ordered the Thule T2 replacement Fat Tire rear wheel holder and Fat Tire front wheel tray(X2) for my Sport Works bike rack. (Thule bought them out a few years ago). The parts bolted right up and work great. Remember to move the rear wheel strap into the longer reach holder notch so it fits around 4-5 inch fatty wheels.
Hard to find item that you had in stock. Got to me quickly.
I'll be back!
I ordered the incorrect part for my Thule T2 bike rack. I was fortunate enough to reach someone in customer service that was considerate,kind,and understood what I needed. I appreciated the help , thank so much. The item itself is a better upgrade than the old one.
exactly as advertised, easy installation. Price could have been a little better.
able to go to the beach w/ the bikes.
At our vacation spot w bikes; someone backed into our Thule rack and busted a wheel holder!! Spoke directly w Helen (that hour,) who assisted w my order. We received the part in a few days, the install was effortless. We will return home tomorrow, bikes secure once again for highway travel back home. Fantastic customer service. Happy to have this behind us, (bikes on a rack in the hitch of the Range Rover. :)
