Thule One Key System lock and installation hardware for upright arm assembly sold separately.I have a old Sportworks side arm rack that Thule bought out and the arm was to short to lock on my 29er and it fits perfectly. The only thing I wished it came with was the 2_5mm screws to hold the hook on to the arm as mine where a little rusty. I Did find some stainless ones that worked though.
I damage a number of parts on my Thule rack crashing into my garage.
Fortunately all of the parts that were damaged were available from etrailer
The parts came quickly and in no time the rack was good as new.
The replacement arms are longer than the original ones that came on my carrier. I can carry almost any bike now without having to let air out of the front tires. Works great. I plan on buying 2 more for my rack extension.
If you've ever suffered through Thule's customer service, skip the headache and order here. It's not inexpensive, but allowed me to bring new life to an older rack instead of needlessly replacing. I do suggest ordering replacement fasteners as you go. Overall a very good experience.
Worthy upgrade to older racks. If you have a pre-2010 or so rack, this will make you curse less when taking your 29”+ bike along. It’s about 1.5-2” longer than the older ones.
Had an old bike rack, was not sure parts were still available. Etrailer customer service was extremely helpful making sure I ordered what I needed. Thank You customer service.
Exactly what I needed to upgrade an older T2 to accommodate my new 29” MTB. Reused the existing hooks, and made the swap. Everything was a direct fit, and the whole job took maybe 20 minutes. Added the One-Key lock set while I was at it, so now can leave the cable lock at home.
It's fast received and perfectly fit to my roof rack great product thanks
Wish it came with new lock nuts. Otherwise great
It fits great love it quick turnaround on the order
Excellent product. Worked with my old sportworks bike rack, per feedback given by some. Glad etrailer still carries them.
I bought this to replace the ratchet arm on an older Thule T2 Hitch Mount Rack to accommodate 5" snow bike and 29+ wheels. The arm is about 2" longer than the older model and makes all the difference on the fit (helps to have the wider tray for the front wheel). It measures about 27" end to center of mount versus about 25" on the older model.
Perfect part! A friend gave us this awesome rack because it was broke. Thanks to this $65 part this several hundred dollar rack will have 25 more years of service. Fast shipping, part was exactly what it was supposed to be. Well done!
I ordered these locking arms after discovering my old ones would slide open even when locked. The racheting system seems to work better than the old ones (maybe just because they are new) and lock well. I was a little disappointed that they did not have the cables inside the arm, like my old ones did, but I took the cables from my old pair and made them work with these.
The Thule T2 is an excellent rack. After ten years, the tire hook rusted through and you guys had the parts to make it new again. The original screws rusted through also and the damage can't be seen since it's inside the locking handle. It's easy enough to disassemble but who knew?
I had broken the plastic trigger on my thule sidearm. Turns out you can't just buy the trigger. You have to replace the whole arm. This fits on my thule sidearm just like the old one. Kind of a let down that it didn't come with any hardware for mounting on the swivel joint or for the wheel hook but I just used the old hardware and hook from the arm I was replacing.
We have a classic Thule T2 bike rack that we bought way back in 2009-just before 29ers were a big thing. The old ratchet arms were too short for our new 2020 ebikes. These new replacement arms are 2” longer and work perfectly! Easy to replace. Ordering and shipping from trailer.com was so easy as well. Would recommend!
Ordered this replacement part for my T2 Classic bike carrier, item was shipped quickly and is exactly what I needed.
etrailer is great. Good prices on replacement parts and excellent service.
The ratcheting mechanism on my old one was getting worn out and etrailer always has the Thule parts I need at a great price. Not the first thing I've bought from them and not the last either.
Bought new arms for my Thule rack to accomadate 29" wheels. Much cheaper option than buying a new rack. Arm's arrived on time from etrailer but unfortunately one had a very bent bottom bracket I had to deal with. Had to try to bend it back in place and thankfully had the tools to do so. Another buyer could have been stuck returning it. 2nd Arm came in perfect so may be a fluke. Would buy again from etrailer but giving this three stars
The replacement locking ratchet arm assembly I recently ordered was all I hoped it would be in that every part and fastener required to install it on the trailer hitch Thule 2 bike rack fit perfectly. I was very pleased that (A) it could be accomplished and (B) the parts were still available despite this particular rack being discontinued. A fine product. Many thanks.
Part is perfect. I have an original sportworks bike rack and the company sold to Thule and has been replaced by the T2. I was so happy to find the locking ratchet arm from etrailer.com which fits my rack because mine cracked and wore out. The new one is actually longer and will fit a 29r now. Im ordering another to replace the other old arm. I have upgraded for a very reasonable investment. Everything fits and works perfect. Thank you etrailer.com
Great fit easy purchase and easy install..!
Also FAST shipping!!!
I am happy I found this part! It allowed me to rebuild my rack. I much prefer this design versus the new rack design.
