Replacement Wheel Hoops for Swagman XTC Series Bike Carriers

I bought these to replace the default tire hoops on my recently purchased swagman xc-2 bike rack. I own a 29" wheeled bike and the default tire hoops while good, didn't leave me feeling confident enough for my type of bike, when taking corners in my car. I purchased these and literally received them 10 minutes ago. I took off the default tire hoops and installed these. Very easy to install, like they were meant for this rack. The tire hoops do not accomadate the wider tire size as the default tire hoops that came with this bike rack. I have a 29"x2.6" Maxxis Rekon for front tire and it fits snuggly, but not difficult to get in and out of this tire hoop, be mindful of this before ordering these or get the tire hoops meant for "fat bike" tires. I love the straps that secure the wheels of the bike. I now have 3 securing points of contact vs. 1. 573851

I ordered these to replace the oval loops of the Swagman XC2, after having my $2500 mountain bike shoot off the rack as I went around the corner. The front suspension on the bike gave just enough for the tire to start coming out of the oval, and with the top bar of the bike on an angle, it became loose and shot off the rack. After that I started adding a nylon strap from the handlebar stem of the bike back to the center upright of the bike rack and adding a strap around the front tire and oval loop of the XC2. 461287

Fit perfect. Got to me fast. It was my first time ordering from etrailer, and I am highly satisfied 672493

I bought these as a replacement for one of them that came off while I was traveling. They're built well but if you don't keep them tightened, they'll come off. I'm going to put a self-tapping screw in the ends of the bats they slide onto. That way, they can't come off and the screw is easy to remove if you ever have to. I wish they sold them individually instead of in pairs. 664487

Thanks for the quick help getting my bike rack back together. Got hit in a parking lot in Huntsville Al. Didnt know until daylight that I had a problem. We were on our way to Cape San Blas Fl for a month, Found a Guy in Appalachacola Fl about 30 miles east. Damage was front wheel was gone. Called Bike Line in Carmel, In and they ordered a new front wheel and some small parts. Shipped to Appala------ Talked to James and ordered wheel hoops and a bar that the hoops fit on. Bike and Bike Rack are ready for pick up today. Great service from everyone. Jim Cooper 604570

Had to order replacement wheel hoops for my swagman xtc 4 bike rack. They were exactly the same as the original parts. Installed them and the bike rack looks like new. etrailer.com was very easy to order from. Received the parts in 2 days along with free shipping. I will order from etrailer again if I need to. 554950

I've owned a Swagman XTC 2-Bicycle Rack since 2013 and have used it for many local and long-distance hauls. It was easy to assemble and to use, and it has been reliable. Although I have not given this piece of equipment the TLC that it deserves, it has held up well. When, due to a stupid error in dismantling one of the cradles, I had to order a replacement, I was able to purchase it at a very reasonable price and had it shipped to me very quickly. I still think this bicycle carrier was a great investment -- especially for the price -- and would recommend it confidently to anyone interested in a light-weight easy-to-use carrier. 539802

I needed a replacement wheel hoops for my bike rack. Access to the information I needed to order was great, the ordering process was very easy, and the fulfillment of the order was swift (it arrived one day ahead of the scheduled delivery date). Yay! 521279

I accidentally bent a Swagman XTC Series Wheel Hoop and etrailer.com had EXACTLY what I needed to replace it. The order was placed and executed seamlessly, and was delivered quickly. I highly recommend this company. 506522

Exactly as described. Arrived well packaged and in excellent condition. Bought these to convert a Swagman XC2 i already owned to an XTC2. Works perfect. 477241

Already owned bike rack but, in backing up auto, damaged an important part. Contacted etrailer.com via the web, found the part I needed to replace, ordered it, and three days later it arrived. Quick service and quality product. Prefect! 462545

Bike rack works well. Troubled that rust has developed around the holes in the rack and the metal pegs that go thru them to hold the rack in place to hold the bikes.

If the bike rack is exposed to moisture, salt water or salt on the roads rust can form. It is a good idea to remove the pins every once and a while and spray the bike rack down with fresh water. It is also a good idea to remove the bike rack from the hitch when not in use.

Part was just what I needed and crystal was very helpful Roy S 451016

After a backing-up accident, I damaged not only my bike, but also the right bar and wheel support on my bike rack. I assumed that I would have to buy another rack, but found that I could purchase the two damaged parts from etrailer. The rack is as good as new, and I use it quite often. Thanks, etrailer! 434213

They seem to be even heavier duty than the originals. 423610

I needed to replace the wheel loop because someone hit and bent it. etrailer had replacements in stock at what I considered a reasonable price. I placed the order and Trailer (George) kept me informed about the shipping. The new parts came a day early and fit perfectly. etrailer sets and sustains a very high standard of customer care and quality product. Thanks! Tom 407790

I purchased these to replace a set that was not long enough to hold our mountain bikes. It took me longer to take the old ones off than it did to attach these new ones. Worked great for our needs. 407195

Part was easy to order and was shipped right away. Would order again without hesitation! 404471

This was a replacement part for our swagman bike rack that got crushed by our truck. The customer service was excellent!! I spoke with customer service and they worked with me to make sure it was shipped so that I had it before I left for vacation and in the cheapest way possible. The Swagman XTC2 bike rack is awesome too, which I also purchased through etrailer. 402938

Product is a direct replacement of the wheel hoops that come with the rack from the factory. Order fulfillment took longer than I would have expected at nearly two weeks but still satisfied with the products and communication from the team. 402636

I Would never buy this again. It has rusted and the button to release the bikes gets stuck often so I carry a tool that helps to put pressure on it to open it. I mtn. bike a lot so keep the rack on my car. Wish I had spent the extra money and bought a heavy and sturdy rack like a Kuat or a One Up. However, if you ride infrequently and will be taking the rack off every time you use it, you may have better luck. You get what you pay for here....cheap price, cheap product. 390771

Great way to replace what I need on the cheap vice but a new rack. Look better than my 2012 bought originals. 368066

It is just what I ordered 361579

Excellent quick delivery in perfect shape of the 3 items ordered. Thanks for your service! 353950

Original factory replacement parts, fit perfect and look great. Shipping was as requested, 3 days. 343026

The wheel hoop was bent in an accident. I only really needed to replace one, but the price was good enough to make buying the set painless. Excellent service, easy to order and received promptly. Price was right and product was as described. Tracking information was easy to use and very accurate. I will be purchasing more from Etrailer. 340773

The Value for the Cost of the Product is Excellent ! Customer Service has been Great ! Delivered before expected time ! 331730

The package arrived quickly and was easy to install. Thanks for the good service. 317686

Product came quickly and as advertised! 314103

The same wheel hoops that come with the Swagman XTC. Handy if you (or another car) backs into it and bends it. 308286

Super happy with my e trailer purchase. Fast shipping, great quality, and reasonable price! 293401

Thank you. Product delivered in perfect condition . As expected. 268902

people keep backing their car into mine and is this point I just removed the bike rack because it is so bent out of shape. It was damaging my bike because the wheel was getting out of alignment because the whole rack was so twisted up. Now I need to find a new one!! Open to suggestions.

Joan s - 07/07/2017

Thanks for the follow up Joan. Since your bike rack keeps getting damaged from others backing into it, I recommend a folding style that will fold up against your vehicle. The Kuat Transfer # TS02G
Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Tilting - Gray
$298.00 is similar in the dimensions when installed in your hitch, but it folds up against your vehicle. This would make is less likely to be hit by others. This bike rack is a little more costly than your current Swagman, but it does offer a completely different profile when folded up against your vehicle. When folded, the outermost parts of the bike rack are steel, and would hopefully offer a better option for you. One of my co-workers has a 3 bike version of this on his Ford Fusion and it has sleek profile when folded against the Fusion. THis bike rack also fits 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitches that is also similar to your existing Swagman. There are several install videos that show this bike rack installed on mid sized SUvs and a couple on sedans. At this time we have not had this bike rack for a very long time, but as we have it longer our video library will grow.

These work great as a replacement to the hoops on the xc2. I have a 29er that didn't quite fit right in those hoops and these solved the problem. 265503

Direct replacement for my rack. Shipped in very reasonable amount of time. 261447

by: Cgriggs06/13/2016

The product is great and exactly what we needed - we only needed one hoop. We received our order quickly and after a year, is still working very well! 260835

I was offered an up dated version of the original wheel well. It came in two days it's on the rack the bike fits perfectly. I'm totally satisfied. It has wheel lock downs for more security. 260503

I've been really happy with this "inexpensive" rack... backed into a tree, and etrailer had replacement parts to me in a matter of days. Great service... definitely shop here in the future! 235991

Changed the wheel hoops on my Swagman XC2 bike rack to extend the largest wheel base from 52" to 64" just by changing the hoops! Great way to make my rack work for me rather than buying another one when this one was still in mint condition. And eTrailer service has been outstanding. I'm glad they stock parts for Swagman racks! 233195

Still our go-to bike rack, going strong on our trailer trips

John L - 12/04/2016

We love our 4 bike carrier. The rack is a little heavy, but the bikes ride well and they are easy to load. We have recommended it to many of our friends. 222670

Product was as described. This was a replacement part for our existing bike rack, and fit the rack. The part was shipped the same day it was ordered and arrived as scheduled two days later. Two status emails were sent. Service was excellent and I would definitely order from eTrailer again. No complaints. 216631

Youre welcome. I still like the product, it works as intended.I would buy from eTrailer again.

Tom H - 08/15/2016

Another example of Amazon choosing 5 Star companies to partner with. Great service as I have always had in any Amazon transaction. I would not hesitate to deal with etrailer directly in the future. 214346
