Today, we'll be taking a quick look at the replacement chain straps for Yakima bike carriers. These are going to fit your older style Yakima carriers. It's going to be a direct replacement for those rubber chain-style straps. They're still going to have a little bit of stretch that allows you to get your bike mounted up and stay secure on your Yakima rack. We'll get three straps in one, or three straps total. Those are each going to have the same measurements, which'll be about nine inches long from the very end to the very top.
The distance from that first hole to our handle portion, that's about eight inches from the center of that hole. The diameter of each of the mounting holes is about half an inch. Holding that up so you can see it there. Half an inch for the diameter. The outermost portion of our strap measures about an inch and a quarter wide.
And they're about a quarter of an inch thick.This is going to fit the Yakima BigHorn, the BuckHorn Elite, and the Yakima SuperJoe and KingJoe series trunk-mount racks. This'll get you back out on the road enjoying your Yakima rack and keeping all of your bikes secure at all those points for the cradles.

Includes 3 straps.I almost lost my fire extinguisher on a ride in the desert, thankfully I came back the same way and found it. The rubber retaining straps broke and it fell off. I searched for retaining straps and found Yakima bike retaining straps and they work like the original ones.
Perfect fit, thank you etrailer.com! Now I can get 10 more years out of this bike rack!
Worked perfectly!

Would it be possible to send a picture of the bike rack? Yakima has made several different 4 bike carriers in the past.

I am in Arizona for the winter the rack is in Illinois. I did previously send you all pictures of the rack and the saddles. I will check to see if I still have the pictures.

I did hear back from Yakima who believes that you have the double down 4 model 8002424. Which means that the chain straps should have worked for you. Can you tell me in more detail what happened when you tried to use them?
These straps were easy to replace and feel like a heavy duty version of what originally came on our bike rack. Thanks for keeping these old parts in stock!

Still amazing and durable
Nice straps and they work for my bike r ack
Excellent customer support and quick de livery
When Yakima discontinued my bike rack, they also discontinued supplying the straps. Luckily, etrailer still had the straps in stock so I didn't have to go without or ad lib replacements just to keep using the rack.

No issues
Straps were the same as originally purchased with my Yakima carrier. Great quality, very quick turnaround
Product is perfect, delivered on time and price good
I am very happy with the replacement parts for my Yakima bike rack. The shipment arrived quickly. They were easy to put on the rack and actually seem heavier and stronger than the originals.

It is still like new. Im very happy.
Great replacement for swing daddy
This replacement strap was about 4-6" shorter than the Yakima part I needed to stretch all the way over the bike forks. I'll need to figure out a work-around.

You mentioned that the straps were 4 to 6 inches shorter than the strap you needed. I wanted to ask you a few follow up questions. Do you know the model name of the bike rack that you have? How long is the strap that you want to replace?

Yes, it is the Yakima HangOver 6-Bike Hitch Rack. Here are pictures of the rack and the straps that are used. Im not near the rack right now, but I can get the measurements later this evening.

Great! - You do not need to measure as knowing the model is very helpful. I do have one more question though. Was your Hang 6 bought before or after August 2020?
Jeff

Before August 2020.

It turns out that I do not have the strap on our site currently. I am having it added and once it is I can let you know the part number and lead time. The strap for models made before August 2020 are different then the straps made after 2020

I ordered 3 of each, and they were just what I was looking for. Thank you Etrailer, for your reasonable prices, and shipping costs. Etrailer kept me informed via email on my order. Very satisfied! Highly recommend Etrailer!
Fit just like an original part. Easy replacement. Thank you etrailer
I ordered the Yakima bike rack straps because most of mine had cracks in them as they were probably older than 7 years . The product arrived promptly during the covid 19 pandemic. They are strong and safely secure my bike on my bike rack. I am pleased with the product and such prompt shipping.
I purchased straps for my "old" Yakima bike rack. The company kept me up to date on tracking when my purchase would arrive. They arrived when they said they would and fit my bike rack perfectly. Great Quality, price for the produce and customer service.
My older style yakima bike carrier required these 5 hole style straps. Emailer delivered quickly. Installation was A snap. Project complete. I ordered 6 pairs (12 straps) as my yakima has 4 bike holders times three straps each
These were to replace some missing straps from an older Yakima swing away bike rack for 4 bikes. Seem well made and to be exact replacements for the original straps.
Hi
I have an older Yakima 4 bike carrier, probably in the 2001 vintage. These straps worked good. They were a little tight to place on the knobs, probably because they are new and not stretched out! I am very pleased with them and even bought some for a friend for her bike carrier.
Beware that these replacement straps are quite a bit shorter than the originals, at least on my rack. If you can't get your present straps to fit in the first 6 holes, these are probably too short, as you won't have enough to grip while trying to put them around your bike. Unfortunately, according to Yakima, they have discontinued the longer straps. If you have small tubes on your bike, they may work. My bikes are probably slightly oversize, but certainly not large tubes.
The bike hold down straps on my Rhode Gear rack were bad and two of them snapped in half. That company was bought up and no longer sold replacement parts. This item was a perfectly fitting replacement even though it is made for a Yakima rack.. Very good price and quick shipping. Even with using the Economy Shipping option I had my order in 7 business days.
Exact replacement straps for my Yakima rack.

After one year, the straps are still going strong! I have been taking them off the rack when not in use to prevent UV damage. My only problem is from whacking myself in the face when installing them if I dont get them seated properly in the beginning! User error
First of all, I ordered this product and when it didn't come, I called and etrailer and they immediately sent another. I want to thank etrailer for their quick response. The straps were very similar to the ones that came with the bike carrier 12 years ago. I'm happy with both the service and the product.
These tie-down straps are a little stiffer than the original Yakima ones but are the same size and should work well as they are made by Yakima.
etrailer.com is a great business to order from. Selection and customer support are great.
