Replacement Wheel Strap for Thule T2 Bike Racks
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to be taking a look at the replacement wheel strap for the Thule T2 hitch-mounted bike racks. This part number comes with one strap. It's going to fit the Thule T2 bike racks, part number TH916 and 917. This end right here, this is the end of the strap that goes into the wheel tray housing. The other end feeds through the ratcheting side of the tray. Let's take a look at some of the dimensions real quick, starting with the overall length. Measuring edge to edge, it's going to give us a measurement of about 11-1/2".
Just the rigid area, so from this point here to the end of the strap, is about 8-1/2". Side to side it's going to give us a width of 13/16". Right here it's got the indention. It's just a nice, easy-to-grip area. That way when you're placing it over the wheel, place it through the ratcheting mechanism. You can grab that, pull it tight, and then finish the tightening process with the ratcheting portion of the wheel tray.
That's going to do it for today's look at the replacement wheel strap for the Thule T2 hitch-mounted bike racks.

Item was exactly what I ordered. Replacement part for my Thule bike rack. Perfect part, quick delivery.
I had the wheel straps for my Thule bike rack stolen and needed replacements. I have purchased other items from etrailer with great results and decided to buy their product offered to fit my bike rack. It was a easy purchase, super fast shipping and they worked great. A+
Item was not in stock when I ordered. However, when I received the item, it was an excellent quality replacement. Very content with my purchase.
We have a Thule bike rack that is a few years old and wanted to get some spare straps that lock the wheels in. etrailer.com made it very easy to find our model and a list of parts for it. They were very easy to order from and our shipment was received quickly. First time ordering but won't be the last!!
Amazing shipping Time and the straps are a perfect fit. Thank you guys for an amazing experience.
These are perfect replacement straps for my Thule platform rack.
Ordered online, very easy. Tracking info was good and accurate. Parts arrived in good condition and on time. I can recommend etrailer.com, and will use them again. Thanks for a quick, easy transaction!
It gave my TWO hitch a new life!
Fits perfect, just like OEM.
Etrailer spent time to research and locate the precise product for my older platform style bike carrier. With so many varieties and styles of hitch mounted bike carriers, it was no small task. Thank you!
Great customer service!!!!!!!!!
No matter how hard I try to keep these straps together and in the same place inside my truck (I have a 2-bike Thule carrier that I leave attached to the truck) they seem to migrate to parts unknown. That's why I ordered a spare. So far these straps have held up. It's not the quality of the strap but the fact that I don't want to lose one on a bike trip. P.S. I have found very few retailers who carry these accessories and am thankful that etrailer.com does. I've purchased bike rack parts, and kayak rack parts. My go-to place.
This replacement strap fits the original Sportsworks hitch-mounted bike rack that morphed into the Thule T2. The rack itself is expensive but well worth the money; a lockable, strong rack that doesn't wobble. The straps don't like the Florida sun so plan on replacing every three or four years. The strap holds down the rear wheel but the real security is on the front wheel. I've had the rack for more than ten years and never had a problem at freeway speeds or on rough roads.
Great product and great service as always from etrailer
It definitely fits and it works I had no issue with it thank you very much for your support
Part matched original. I could not find it anywhere else. Service from beginning to end from etrailer.com was excellent.
Strong sturdy part always have a couple extras! Great Product
Just what I needed. Seems to me if I'm going to have any trouble with the incredible Thule T2 bike rack, I'll probably lose one or two of these straps, and then what? This was easy to order two spares from etrailer. Their price plus S&H was the most reasonable. Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars was that the order (sent USPS) seemed a little slow for the S&H cost. USPS is not known for speed, but the order did still arrive in about 5 business days.
I have a Thule T2 hitch mounted bike rack and misplaced the strap for the rear wheel lock down. I could not find a replacement strap at any LBS. I found this replacement part on the etrailer.com WEB site. The order was delivered on time and the strap was just what I needed to replace the misplaced (lost) part.
A main requirement if you own a Thule hitch bike rack, for those who do, you know what I mean. They seam to grow legs and walk off, or...maybe I leave them on the rack and drive off!!! Either way, I order 4 from etrailer, immediately received a confirmation email of my order. Then very quickly received the second email my order was shipped. My kind of Internet shopping. Product arrived USPS soon after. Great experience. Thanks.
It took my a while for me to find this because I have an older model Sportworks tray bike carrier. I come to find out its the same as the Thule T2 carrier. The straps fit perfectly in my carrier. The ordering process was painless and it arrived as scheduled as per the tracking information. Solid in all areas.
Just bought this for a spare part. I've had the bike rack for 12 years and the original parts look fine but this looks like the only part that would ever wear out which is the reason I bought it. I bought the Thule rack from etrailer about 10 years ago and a few other things over the years and would recommend them to anyone. They have an easy to navigate site and their shipping and prices are very good.
My original straps finally wore out after almost 18 years. So I called Thule to order replacements. Unfortunately Thule informed me they didn’t have any more of the straps I needed. I looked around the internet and found this company. The straps were marked up almost 1.5x the price that Thule had them listed for, but, as we know, Thule told me they were out. So... I took a chance here and bought from this company. The product arrived very quickly, and while it is not OEM, they both fit very well. I give this company an A plus, and well, beggars can’t be choosers so I have to give them a pass on the price increase, Even though I hate to do that. They were my only option, and they eere Worth the extra cost. Sorry I don’t have a pic.
Got my order fast and it worked as I'd hoped. My replacement parts fixed my bike racks issues. Now it is like new again. Thanks heaps!
I ordered direct from Thule first and was sent the wrong items. I surfed the web and found etrailer and was impressed by the nice descriptions, pictures and best of all actual measurement of the straps I was looking for. Ordered and receive very promptly the exact parts I needed. They are the go to on-line store for trailer and rack parts for me.
