Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs for Bike Racks

Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a look at the soft ride hook and loop tie down straps. So, you can use these for several different purposes. If you want to use them for your bike tie down you can to keep your bike wheel safely secured to your bike rack so it's not moving around, or you can use it for a hanging style bike rack.A lot of times that wheel is just hanging and dangling there, and it kind of swings around in the wind, so you can lock that into place by putting this around the wheel and then around the frame or the down tube, or the cross tube of your bike to help hold that in place. That way it's not moving around and it makes it a little bit easier to prevent it from whacking into your vehicle.You can also use this to hold up a pant leg while you're biking, so if you happen to be wearing some jeans, or slacks, or something like that while you're riding your bike, maybe you commute to work, something like that. You can use these to cinch up that extra material and keep it from getting caught in the spokes or from getting caught in the gears, or your chain, and mucking up your pants.So, keeps that secure. Just a hook and loop strap, so we'll have the loop material here and then the little hooks that grab into that and hold it really strongly.

We'll also get some little reflector pieces, and these are going to have a hook material on the back of those, so you can attach them to the loop material and hold that in place.So, that just creates a highly reflective surface on the strap to make you more visible at night. Alert other vehicles, other drivers that you're there. And you get one of those little squares per strap. Now, this is available in a four pack or as just a single strap.It's going to still come with that little reflector, even if you get this as a single strap, so you can utilize that to keep you more visible at night.The total length from end to end of the strap is 16 inches, but four of those inches is going to be taken up by the hook material, so the actual usable part of the strap is going to be 12 inches long, or about a foot.So, from here on back that's 12 inches in length. The width is about an inch, thickness about a quarter of an inch, and there's no stretch to them.

Just holds securely with that strap.Each of these little squares is about seven eighths of an inch on each side. And that's about all there is to it for our hook and loop tie downs. I hope this video has been helpful in deciding if this is going to be the right piece for you.Again, can be used for a lot of different scenarios, a lot of different options, so hopefully it'll get you out and rolling again. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.

Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs for Bike Racks - Qty 4 - SR54FR

Average Customer Rating:  4.6 out of 5 stars   (26 Customer Reviews)

These 16" hook-and-loop straps secure your bike's front tire to your down tube to prevent spinning and wobbling on your bike rack. They can also be used to secure cargo, cables, and even your pants leg to prevent binding in your bike chain.

These worked out very well. I secured them to a custom made wood Trek Verve3 Ebike cradle with T25 star head screws on a washer. They hold to the rims nicely.



by:

It's amazing how handy these straps are. I stash them everywhere.. from the stroller to the golf cart to every car we have. They're great for tying down everything in the cargo area but really excel for securing things on roof racks from christmas trees and beach umbrellas to stand up paddle boards and kayaks.



by:

4 stars due to slower than expected delivery. Bicycle rack was identified as in stock with expected free delivery 5 days later. Ordered on a Sunday and free delivery was identified for Friday. Each day the delivery date moved out another day with no indication that it had even been picked and packaged. Emailed etrailer to find out why. Received a response stating that free shipping was subject to many factors and difficult to predict. Item was picked and packed within a day of the response and received one week later than originally expected (12 days vice 5 initially expected). Fortunately, I didn't have any scheduled first use so I could wait. Unpacked the item today and everything went great. All material included, directions easy to follow, assembled and installed on car in about 15-20 minutes. Seems to fit tightly and securely. Tilts back to permit opening hatch as advertised. Price was competitive. Hoping to load the bikes on tomorrow and get out for a ride!

These straps worked great for the purpose I needed.

  • Compatibility of 3 Bike Rack on 2015 Toyota Prius
    The Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack is a fit for your 2015 Prius but has been discontinued. If you already have the rack it will work very well for you. I recommend using the included pin and clip for a secure fit in the hitch and then using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack. The 2 inch receiver only Reese Q-Slot Platform-Style 2 Bike and 4 Bike Rack PS63138 (also discontinued) was a 2 or 4 bike carrier, but would NOT work on your 2015 Toyota Prius...

  • Best Bike Rack for a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
    We have a wide variety of bike racks that are compatible with your 2018 Chevrolet Equinox and will do a great job of safely transporting your bike. The bike rack that I recommend using to carry your bike with your Equinox is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. This is compatible with 1-1/4" receivers in Black # SH12B, Pearl # SH12P, and Gray # SH12G, as well as 2" receivers in Black # SH22B, Pearl # SH22P, and Gray # SH22G. Both options are identical aside from what receiver they are compatible with. The...

  • Bike Rack Compatibility with 2017 BMW 220i
    The Thule OutWay # TH56BV is not a confirmed fit on your 2017 BMW 220i. For your vehicle, the inside of your tailgate does require a different fit. I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 or 3 Bike # Y02633. When you look at the attached instructions the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode on your vehicle. This allows the inside of the hatch to carry the weight and not the outside trim. If you already have the OutWay...

  • Recommended Hitch and Swing Away Bike Rack for 2017 Nissan NV2500
    For your 2017 Nissan NV2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13109. When using about 1/2 of Curt hitches they will require a stability strap # 18050 for their warranty, however, this hitch does not require it. When it is required it is stated in the installation instructions and I've attached them to confirm it is not required on this particular hitch or the stronger # C14000 which is also a fit for your vehicle. As you stated, these are made in the USA. The stability...

  • Can Thule Hitching Post Pro Fit on 2011 Toyota Camry
    Yes, the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is compatible with your 2011 Toyota Camry. I recommend using the Draw-Tite # 36416 because it features a hidden crosstube for a cleaner look (see attached). Since this is a Class II trailer hitch you can actually utilize the 4 bike positions of the bike rack. I have attached an installation video of the trailer hitch on an '11 Camry as well as a video of this bike rack on an '11 Camry for you to reference. You may also be interested in the Softride...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted 2 Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota Sienna
    Because your 2014 Toyota Sienna likely has the spoiler at the top of the hatch, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This bike rack is confirmed to fit your vehicle and is designed specifically for compatibility with spoilers. I've attached a couple of videos to show you how this fits and the adjustable features. For the best ride, I recommend the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs # SR54FR for your front wheels and the Swagman Bike Adapter Bar # 64005...

  • Economic Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The most economic bike rack type that you can use on your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon is a trunk mount bike rack. It doesn't require any extra equipment like a roof mount or hitch mount bike rack does and it can easily be stored in the rear hatch of your Outback Wagon. Just like all other bike rack categories there are very economic trunk bike racks and others that are higher end with more features. I recommend going with the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 as it is a great bike rack that doesn't...

  • Recommended Bike Carrier for 2015 Buick Encore with Spoiler
    For your 2015 Buick Encore, we have a bike rack that is intended for use with spoilers like yours. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers - Adjustable Arms - Trunk Mount # HRF2 or the 3 bike # HRF2-3. This carrier is made to be extremely versatile and able to fit well with any type of spoiler. It is a customer favorite. It has interlocking hubs with quick-release levers, foam pads to protect your vehicle, and sturdy steel frame with black...

  • Comparing Installation of Saris Bones 3 To Yakima and Thule Trunk Mounted Rack on 2008 Lexus IS 250
    I can help answer the questions you have about the Saris Bones 3 # SA801BL. You are correct that the plastic ratcheting cradles will make attaching the bike to the rack easier than the rubber straps. Typically the rubber will stretch easier in warmer climates and loosen up after repeated use. You are also correct that because they are plastic they have a higher chance of breaking especially in colder weather conditions. We haven't heard of any cases of the buckle breaking or coming...

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    We do have some trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. Out of our selection I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24949 because it is set at a competitive price point and it doesn't require a support strap # 18050 like the Curt # C11422 does. Then for a bike rack (if you don't already have one) I recommend the Kuat Beta # B202-114. This lightweight (12.6 lbs) aluminum bike rack comes fully assembled right out of...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2 Adult Hybrid Bikes on a 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio Convertible
    If you are wanting to use a trunk mounted bike rack to carry 2 bikes on your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio Convertible then I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Expedition # HRF6-2 because the adjustable arms and anti-sway cradle combination is hard to beat at this price point compared to other bike racks that fit your Cabrio. The adjustable arms not only allow you to keep your bikes level but they also fold up when you aren't carrying your bikes so that you have more rear clearance. The anti-sway...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2016 Acura RDX
    We always recommend using a trailer hitch with a 2" receiver over the 1-1/4" size because they have higher weight ratings and because you can use a wider variety of bike racks. Technically since the 1-1/4" is smaller it will be less noticeable but realistically there isn't that big of a visual difference between the 2 sizes. I recommend using the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13130 for your 2016 Acura RDX which gives you that 2" receiver plus it installs in such a way that only the receiver...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For 2017 Toyota Prius
    For a confirmed fit trunk mounted bike rack for your 2017 Toyota Prius I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 or 3-bike # Y02633 because I believe it is the best option for your vehicle. This bike rack comes with all the bike and rack locks so you simply need to add a bike adapter bar like # 64005 for any step through frame bikes and then use Softride # SR54FR to keep your front wheels from hitting the car or each other.

  • Will the Thule Helium Aero Pro Fit on a 2015 Toyota Highlander
    Even though we have tested the Thule Helium Aero # TH9042PRO on a 2013 Toyota Highlander it is always good to take some measurements so that you make sure it will clear the rear bumper on your 2015 Highlander since we don't know what trailer hitch you have. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the anti-rattle hand knob measures 4-1/2", then to the lever for tilting the bike rack measures 11-1/4", and to the back of the post measures 14-3/8". Typically it's just the hand knob measurement...

    Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack, # TH910XT, will fit on your 2001 Toyota Solara. There are no additional items that you need to purchase to begin using this bike rack. A few accessories that you may be interested in are the Thule Adapter, # TH982XT, and the Softride Soft Velcro Tie Downs, # SR54FR. Some womens, childrens and alternative bike frames can be difficult to mount on bike racks and the Thule Adapter will allow you to mount these bikes easily and safely. The Softride Velcro...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Honda CR-V for Long Trips
    I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02634, for your CR-V. The SuperCush anti-sway cradles work to hold your bikes firmly in place and prevent rocking. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you. Since you will be carrying the bikes on long trips, I also recommend picking up some tie-down straps for your bike wheels, part # SR54FR. These straps will keep your front wheels from moving and hitting your vehicle while driving the highway. If any of the bikes you...

    The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is confirmed to fit all models of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta so it will fit your SE. Our installation notes say to use the tow loops (holes) on the side of the vehicle to attach straps or hooks. The vehicle has a soft bumper and the weight of bicycles may exceed the capacity of your bumper so you need to check that out. I have attached an installation video on a 2013 Jetta as well as the installation details for you to reference. You may...

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11431 is a confirmed fit for 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST models. It is a confirmed fit for your 2018 model and will fit above the exhaust and under the bumper. This will work well for your bike rack, but you will want to make sure to install and uninstall the rack only after the exhaust pipes have cooled for safety when maneuvering in that tight space. I recommend the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 which will have the locks included. If...

  • Will the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie-Downs for Bike Racks Work with Any Bike
    Yes, the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie-Downs for Bike Racks part # SR54FR is a universal strap that can be used on pretty much any bike or bike rack. The only issue we see sometimes is the distance between the wheel and frame is too large but all you will need to do in this case is join two of the straps together. These straps will do an excellent job of keeping the wheels for spinning while in transport. They also have many other uses. If you would also like a universal bike lock you...

  • Options for Carrying 3 Bikes with a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan
    If you are looking to transport 3 bikes with one piece of equipment then your best option is to go with a trunk mount bike rack. The only trailer hitches available for your 2017 Honda Civic Sedan are Class I trailer hitches and they can only carry up to 2 bikes. A roof rack is another option but it would be easier to load your bikes onto a trunk mount bike rack. I recommend going with the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 if you do not have the Si which can carry up to 3 bikes with a max weight...

    First, to answer the question about the different versions or generations of the OutWay, part # TH45JV is the newest and current. The old one was TH9001, the TH9001XT. and the TH9001PRO. If you order # TH45JV you will get the newest version. We actually do have the OutWay # TH45JV listed as a fit for the 2014 BMW 4-Series coupe. Provided the hard top convertible has the gap between the body and the trunk lid then the top straps can hook on. Top up or down would require test fitting it...

This has a weight capacity of 33 lbs per bike (for a total of 99 lbs) so I do recommend checking the weight of your bikes as all other bike rack options are going to be very similar (maybe up to 105 lbs). This bike rack doesn't come with locks but you can add them using the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 and the LoopLocks Cable Lock # MPG2168. You may also be interested in the Softride...

These are really the best bike racks to avoid damage to your spoiler. Other models like the # TH910XT are good bike racks, but they will require tension on straps that may damage your spoiler. With a hanging rack like any of these options, I recommend some additional security elements. For your rack, I recommend the Thule Passive...
