Video Transcript for Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks Review

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be checking out this Thule replacement rubber strap for a bunch of different Thule bike racks. Right now, we have the Hitching Post Pro on here, and you can kind of tell by the one that you're probably replacing, which one this fits. It's the rubberized one with all the holes. We'll say that you lost yours because I think it would take a lot to damage one of these, or if you just left it out in the elements all the time, and it would dry up and crack, you can easily get this replacement.It's going to be the exact same as the ones that are already on this bike rack. It works the exact same way, goes on and attaches.

It's going to be a great replacement for that one you missed, you might have lost. Now you can order just one if you want. Again, I suggest getting four because if you already lost one, there's a chance you lose another one. Might as well have spares on the ready just in case. Well, I hope this helped.

Thanks for hanging out.

Replaces the straps on the Hold Fast cradles of your Thule bike racks.

by:

Very high quality material, durable and steady. I’m very pleased with the straps, the rubber is very strong, yet flexible enough to wrap around. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for replacement.



by:

I've had trouble finding these replacement parts for our Thule bike rack. So I was glad to find them on etrailer.com. Delivery was quick and I got exactly what I expected.



by:

I was so happy I could find replacement straps for my Thule bike rack!!!



by:

Just what I needed for my bike rack, thank you! I also replaced knob, and RSI was able to fix it with new key. Saved me hundreds from having to buy a new bike rack.



by:

The parts arrived. They were perfect replacements for last parts that came with the bike rack.



by:

The straps arrived in good order. Because we haven't used them yet, the quality of the product has yet to be determined. Ask me in a month how they performed!



by:

I got exactly what I ordered, no surprises, which is not actually all that common.
I will always rely on etrailer for replacement parts.



by:

Works great to keep my bike securely attached to my Thule bike rack.



by:

Over the lifetime of my Thule bike rack I have had to order several Anti Sway cradles and Angled Extensions because they keep falling off. Once I install them on the bike rack I pull on them to make sure they are attached securely. Nonetheless, at some point they fall off. I don't understand why. If you have any suggestions, I would apprreciate them. Thank you.



by:

Arrived earlier than expected, fit perfectly. I actually installed this on the Thule 934PRO Hitching Post Pro.

straps are thick and sturdy and work well until they break. I bike throughout the summer, and the car sits in the sun while I'm biking. The hot sun makes these straps very pliable, so they stretch and over time break. This is my second pack of replacement straps. It's important to carry extras so you aren't without enough straps to carry all your bikes back home.



by:

Great resource for bike carriers and parts! I am very happy I discovered etrailer as a source for bike carriers. Highly recommended.



by:

We love working with etrailer. Very helpful if you wish to speak to a representative.
We have purchased a trailer hitch for our car as well as a Tulle bike rack. Wonderful products at good prices. As we use our bikes and racks frequently, one of the straps used to secure the bikes ripped apart. I am sure due to heat, rain and other assorted weather conditions, the straps will wear. So easy to go on line and purchase another package of straps. My order was processed and delivered quickly. I have on many occasions recommended etrailer as they have all that you are looking for and good prices!

Great, sturdy straps! Bought extra not because they tore or ripped, more for the fact we may lose one or two!



by:

I need a bike rack.
I had a bike rack,
but the straps broke. I thought I would have to junk it and buy a new one. Then, I found all these spare parts for the Thule bike racks. The good news is that not only are the parts better than the OEM straps, they didn't cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks to etrailer.com, my bike rack is better than new and we can take our bikes camping again.

Update on my review: Ive used the bike rack several times. The straps are still the best thing to happen to this rack since I bought it. Not only do they work better than the OEM straps but because it is easy to take them off and store them out of the Sun and weather. Kept in a plastic bag, they are still soft, pliable and strong. In all, a very good buy.



by:

The replacement straps were exactly the same quality Thule straps that originally came with our bike rack, so that was a positive, while the ease of ordering, price and quick shipping made this a solid deal. We will check etrailer now whenever we need something that they supply.

Lee

We used the straps frequently and they are still in like-new condition. Great quality!



by:

After 1 year the replacement straps continue to hold the bikes securely.



by:

4 is better than 1



by:

Over $x each for a piece of rubber is insane. Not blaming Etrailer because it appears that everyone sells them for $30. Other than the price these hold up fairly well, of course they eventually break especially if exposed to weather/sun for a longer period.



by:

Exactly what I needed. The straps that came with my bike rack are nowhere near as sturdy and grippy as these, so the bikes are held much more securely in place.

As usual, fast shipping and great service from etrailer.com.

Product has been working 100 still.



by:

It was exactly what I needed, and it was original, not a spinoff brand you find with other shippers, I already need another part and I will be using etrailer once again.



by:

A quick & seamless delivery. Thank You!

The “Replacement Straps” work perfectly and as expected.

@DrN We're glad to hear that your replacement bike rack cradle straps are working well for you!


by:

Thanks for a wonderful product! As a 74+ yr old gal I love to bike ride, from short treks w/grandkids to long mountain rides like the Hiawatha Trail in ID/MT. The Thule bike rack is a life saver - it's easy to put on & remove from the car when it's only me going plus it has room for one additional bike. (Before getting the Thule I had to take the truck to fit the bike into, which was pretty terrible on fuel efficiency) The license plate shows w/my bike on so that's a hugely good thing. It can be locked in place on the car plus the bikes can be locked onto the rack, too
YES, I would definitely say 'go for it!' it to anyone looking for an easy way to carry their bike - have used it in torrential rain & sunshine & love it always. Have even taken it along when there was no clear plan of going for a bike ride!



by:

Exactly what I needed to breathe new life into our old four-bike rack.



by:

This is our 2nd etrailer order (rubber straps for Thule bike carrier). In both cases, the order was promptly handled and delivered within less than two weeks. I will definitely use etrailer again!

I had read the reviews prior to the first order (a trailer hitch), and ordered based on the preponderance of the very positive remarks. Now, I have added my own!



by:

I received my straps this morning. They are same as the originals. Easy to install. Ordering from etrailer was very convenient and delivery was a just a few days.

  • What Replacement Straps Do I Need for My Older Thule Bike Rack?
    If you need the straps that go along with the Replacement Anti-Sway Attachment for Thule Apex and Helium Aero Bike Racks # 1500056128, the straps you need are the # 852-3006-001 (1 replacement strap) or # TH534 (4 replacement straps).

  • Replacement ZipStrips And Cradles For A Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack
    The Replacement Cradle for Yakima HangOut or KingJoe Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # Y8890153 that you mention is actually a cradle, and fits the HangOut and KingJoe trunk mounted bike racks, so it won't be a fit for your FullSwing 4 bike rack # Y02465. Instead what you're going to want is the: -Replacement Anti-Sway Cradle and ZipStrips for Yakima FullTilt and FullSwing Bike Racks # Y8890302. If you are needing straps also, you can use the Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks...

  • Replacement Anti-Sway Cradles and Reinforcement Straps for the Thule Raceway PRO # TH9002PRO
    The replacement anti-sway cradle for the Thule Raceway PRO # TH9002PRO that you referenced can be found on our site listed as part # TH8523486001. The straps that secure the bike to the cradles and anti-sway cradles are sold individually with part # 852-3006-001 or as a set of 4 straps with part # TH534.

  • Replacement Strap For Thule Spare Me 963XT Bike Rack
    I called Thule and they confirmed the correct strap for your Thule spare Me 963XT is the Replacement Rubber Strap T2 Bike Carrier Cradles # 753-3535. The Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # TH534 is not a fit your Thule Spare Me 963XT bike rack.

  • Replacement Rubber Straps Compatible with Fat Bikes for use on a Thule Bike Rack
    I have a solution for you, but unfortunately there are no rubber straps longer than the 8-3/4" long Thule Replacement Straps for Cradles # TH534. The reason for this is that none of the racks like the Thule Apex that use these straps, are truly designed to carry a fat bike. Depending on which bike rack you have, you may be able to use the Replacement HideAway Cradle Ratchet Straps for Thule Bike Racks # TH536, which are ratcheting straps that are compatible with the Hideaway cradles...

  • Replacement Straps for a Yakima SwingDaddy Bike Rack
    The Yakima SwingDaddy-specific straps are # 8890221 for three. The holes in these straps are 1/2 inch in diameter so you could really use any strap with 1/2 inch diameter holes. You could get a set of 4 Thule straps using # TH534 if you prefer. There is also a pair of Curt straps you could use, # C18007. Any of these 3 options would work since they all have about the same length and the holes are 1/2 inch in diameter.

  • Replacement Anti-Sway Cradle for Thule Raceway Pro Trunk Mount Bike Rack
    The correct anti-sway cage for your Thule Raceway trunk mount rack is the Replacement Anti-Sway Cradle # TH8523486001. The part # 853-7758 you asked about is for other Thule trunk mount racks and isn't designed to work with the Raceway. If you need to replace the strap as well then you need part # 852-3006-001, but if you need more straps this is also available in a 4 pack as part # TH534.

  • Replacement Anti-Sway Cage for Thule Bike Racks with Stay-Put Cradles Item # 853-7758
    For the replacement anti-sway cradles, part # 853-7758, your best pick is to use the Thule 4-Pack straps, part # TH534. They are shaped correctly for the Thule Anti-Sway cradles and will work the best over time. If you're needing to pick up individual straps, they are part # 852-3006-001.

  • Does Thule Helium Aero 2-Bike Rack Have Replacement Cradles
    I checked with the manufacturer, Thule, and found there were no full replacement cradles for the Thule Helium Aero 2-Bike Rack TH9042. The only spare parts in regards to the cradles for this bike rack is the Replacement Cradle Overmold # 852-3003-001 and Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # 852-3006-001 (quantity of 1) and # TH534 (quantity of 4).

  • Hole Diameter of Thule Replacement Straps for Cradles TH534
    Bike rack parts such as rubber straps like Thule part # TH534 can sometimes be used interchangeably between different brands of bike racks. The Thule straps have holes that measure 7/16-inch. On their top side those holes have a rounded perimeter, to give something like a slight funnel shape, which gives that side of the strap a hole diameter closer to 1/2-inch. Rhode Gear was bought out by Yakima some years back and so there is limited availability of replacement parts for their racks....

  • Replacement Cradles And Straps For Original Yakima Hangout Bike Rack
    Thanks for reaching out, Steve. We have confirmed with Yakima that the # Y8890153 will fit the older HangOut bike rack. The straps for this rack are no longer available, but we have found that the Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # TH534 will work with the Yakima cradles.

  • Replacement Straps for Rhode Gear 2 Bike Rack
    We have found that the Replacement Straps # TH534 from Thule are a good fit for many of the older Rhode Gear bike racks like what you have. This is likely why you came across the product during your search. If you still have an existing strap somewhere you can compare its dimensions to these just to be sure. These replacements measure 8-3/4 inches long and the individual adjustment holes have a 1/2 inch diameter. I have attached a customer review as well that describes them working nicely...

  • Replacement Straps For Thule Camber Bike Rack
    Hi Mike, I verified with Thule that the Thule Camber bike rack has only had the zip straps from the HideAway cradles, and the replacement for those is the Replacement HideAway Cradle Ratchet Straps # TH536. If you happened to have a Thule rack that was a hanging bike rack similar to the Camber but older you likely had HoldFast cradles, and the replacement for those is the Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # TH534.

  • Reusing Thule Square Bar Roof Rack on 2020 Toyota Corolla
    I have a solution for you but since Thule changed their square bar roof rack setups the only way to reuse your Thule square bars would be with the Inno feet # INSUT which are designed for the exact same dimensions as the Thule bars. Then for a fit kit for your 2020 Toyota Camry you'd just need the # INK593.

  • Replacement Rubber Straps Recommendation for an Old Rhode Gear Bike Rack
    We haver found in the past via customer submitted reviews that the Replacement Straps for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # TH534 are a goo replacement for your older Rhode Gear bike rack. I recommend measuring your existing straps if they're still around to make sure these'll be a good fit. These straps measure 8-3/4" long and has a hole diameter of 1/2". If your straps have the same or similar enough measurements you should be fine.

  • Solution for Replacement Frame Cradle Strap for Rhode Gear Super Cycle Shuttle
    The best option we have for replacement straps for your Rhode Gear bike rack is going to be the Replacement strap kit part # TH534 that you referenced. The hole diameter is 1/16 inch smaller than what you have but since these straps are rubber and stretchable that wouldn't be an issue.
