Video Transcript for Thule Hitch Bike Racks 753-3535 Review
Today we're going to review part number 753-35-35. This is the Thule Replacement Rubber Strap for the Thule Bike Racks that use the T3 Cradles. Now this strap is used to hold down your bike to the bike rack cradle. This rubber strap replaces a lost or damaged strapped on your Thule Bike Carrier that uses the T3 Cradles. You can see on this one end of the strap it does have a hard plastic attachment to it. Now the Bottle Bike Racks with the T3 Cradles are the Thule Ridgeline, The Roadway, The Revolver, and the Spare-Me Bike Racks.
This part in quantity is for one strap. If you notice it has the six holes right here, the round holes, and the measurement on those holes center to center is 1 inch. Total length, let's see if I can get you a total length on this from the very tip to the very tip. It's going to be right at 10-1/2 inches. The diameter of the smaller holes are 1/2-inch and this one big large on the end is about 1-1/2 inches. That should do it for the review on part number 753-35-35.
This is the Thule replacement Rubber Strap for Thule Bike Racks with the T3 Cradles.

Thule no longer makes the same type of cradle and strap for my bike carrier and this model is the recommended replacement. The cradle is a very tight fit and I don't think that it will be as easy to adjust as the original part. The strap seems fine and if it breaks I can replace the strap separately unlike the original part. I looked for this on Amazon, eBay, and the other usual suspects and e-trailer had the best combination of price & shipping. 188503

Very well made. The only thing that you need to know if you buy this for the Harbor Freight bike rack is that you also need to purchase the Thule T3 cradle to go with it. 580156

I ordered the replacement rubber straps for our Thule bike rack that is mounted on the back of our Jeep Liberty. My husband replaced the old worn straps with the new ones in no time at all and was extremely pleased with the replacement straps. 426820

The replacement cradles and straps I received have really made my old rack look like new again. They were simple to install, too. Only took me about 10 minutes to install eight new replacement cradles and straps. 561467

Replaced my inexpensive bike rack cradles with the Thule cradles and straps and am really happy. They are much stronger and easier to strap in the bike than the Velcro straps that came with the carrier. The rack is 1" tubing and it fits fine. 640068

I was fortunate to find exact replacement hardware for my Hitch Style Bike Rack. The old hardware needed replacement to hold the Bikes securely. Your customer service was very helpful in helping me find the correct items. Thank you so much! 639197

Installed the spare parts today. Excellent results. I had an old Bell Bike Rack with broken clips and replaced them with these. Perfect fit, a very nice upgrade. You definitely have to use soap to get them on the bar (unless you're a masochist). 94597

etrailer sells several straps for bike racks and I found the one I needed by matching their website picture to my broken strap. Received the strap and worked perfectly. 698051

I had left my old Thule Spare Me rack on my car for a long time (years) without using it and the straps had dry rotted. These were the exact right ones and they arrived quickly. Now I am all set to carry my new bike. 695700

Item was the replacement for an older part. Worked worked (and looks) better than the original. Will get a few years of service and will rebuy when it wears out. Not much you can do about that being in the sun and weather. 690187

I ordered replacement straps for my Thule bicycle carrier (one of them ripped due to use -- decided to order two as a preventative measure). It took me a bit to find these online. The parts arrived well-packaged (they are rubber so no issue with breakage anyway) and are now installed. I'll order parts from etrailer.com again in the future. 681577

When a few of the straps on my Thule bike rack broke, I decided it was probably time to replace them all. These straps were great and my back rack looks like new. You can't put a price on having confidence that you bikes are secure on your rack when you travel. 663408

- Installation of Thule Rubber Straps for T3 Bike Rack CradlesIf the cap at the end of the bike rack arm has a rivet instead of a screw to hold it on (check on the bottom of the arm) then you will not be able to remove it. But what you can do to get strap # 753-3535 installed is essentially stretch it out enough to go over everything, including the cradle. I have actually done this myself and made a video of it. You basically have to work it on there by stretching and moving it as you go. The matching cradle on the other hand, # 853-5829, would...

- Replacement Cradle Strap For Older Thule Bike Carrier I called Thule and asked about the strap that has 5 square holes for your bike rack. They told me the strap has been discontinued. They said the cradle would need to be replaced and then a different strap can be used with the new cradle. The cradle they said that can be used is part # 853-5829. The strap that will work with this cradle is part # 753-3535. We have another option for you. If you measure the hole size and the distance between the holes we may have a strap that will work...

- Replacement Strap Recommendation to Replace Thule 853-5831It looks like Thule switched to strap # 753-3535 for many bike racks as a replacement for the 853-5831 that you have.

view full answer... - How to Install the Thule Replacement Strap 753-3535 for Hanging Bike RacksInstallation of the T3 cradle replacement strap is pretty straight forward. You will need to remove the end cap from the end of the bike support arm, a Phillips screw typically holds the cap in place. Next use a small amount of soap and water to help the cradles, # 853-5829, slide off easily. Once you have the cradles off installation is just the reverse, orient the strap, cradle and anti sway bracket, if needed, together and then slide them on to the correct position.
view full answer... - What Type of Bolt Is Used on End Caps of Thule Bike RackWhat you are describing is a Torx security bolt. The center section is put in there so you can't just use a screwdriver to remove the bolt. Thule sells the needed tool as part # 853-3496.

- Availability of Replacement Cradle Straps for Thule Helium 3-Bike RackActually, the correct strap for your Thule Helium is less expensive than either of the straps you mentioned. If you have the older Thule Helium, part # TH971, it used a now discontinued strap, part number 853-5834. The newer Thule Helium Aero, part # TH9043 uses the # 852-3006-001 replacement strap. The good news is the # 852-3006-001 will also fit the older model.
view full answer... - Does Replacement Thule T3 Bike Rack Cradle Require More than One StrapYou will only need one strap, # 753-3535, per T3 cradle, # 853-5829. There are two knobs on just one side of this cradle. It allows you to secure the strap to either knob; whichever allows you to secure the bike the best.
view full answer... - Cradles for Thule 4-Bike Hitching Post Pro 934XTFor your Thule Hitching Post Bike Rack # TH934XTR you will want a Replacement Stay-Put Cradle # 853-7887. This is the recommended cradle by Thule and it is the one I would recommend you get. The Hold Fast Cradle part # 853-7887 would also fit since it has the same diameter hole. For a strap you would need the part # 852-3006-001.
view full answer... - Replacement Cradle Strap Availability for a Rola 2 Bike Rack # 59400I checked your account, and it looks like you ordered the Rola bike rack # 59400. The correct replacement strap for your bike rack is # 59405. This strap works with both the older red-lined Rola bike cradles or the newer style black cradles. The # 753-3535 strap is not compatible with your Rola bike rack.
view full answer... - Replacement Straps and End Cap for a Thule Roadway Bike Rack TH912You definitely have T3 cradles on your Thule bike rack, the correct replacement strap would be the Replacement Rubber Strap for Thule T3 Bike Carrier Cradles # 753-3535. I confirmed this with my rep at Thule. The replacement end cap that you would need would be the Replacement Tube Cap # 853-1477-04. This does not come with the set screw, but it will be available on our site very soon. It's part number will be # 853-5753.

- How to Install Thule T3 Replacement Strap over Integrated Locking Cable on Thule Bike RacksIf your integrated cable lock has the rivet on the bottom and not the screw, you will not be able to remove the end piece. However, check out the video on the page I have linked at right. It shows how you can stretch the replacement strap, # 753-3535, enough to go over the cradle. You will have to work it on there by stretching it and moving it as you go, but it is possible.
view full answer... - Replacment Strap for Thule 946 Bike RackWhen reaching out to my contact at Thule, we confirmed that since the arms of your Thule 946 bike rack is 1 inch in diameter, the replacement strap that will fit is part # 753-3535. They will have a different appearance, so you may wish to replace all of the cradles and straps at one time.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Rubber Straps for Bike RackWe do! A wide range of bike rack replacement parts are offered for most major brands like Thule, Yakima and Swagman. The linked page will show you all replacement rubber straps and prices. For example, if you have a Thule rack just click on that brand at the top of the page to see their replacement straps, such as # 852-3006-001 or # 753-3535.
view full answer... - Replacement Cradle Straps for Thule 5-Bike Carrier Look Different than Original StrapsIt looks like Thule switched to strap # 753-3535 for many bike racks. The hard plastic piece offers reinforcement so the strap lasts longer. It should not affect the fit. Provided you have a Thule rack that uses straps that install around the arms then these straps will work for you.
view full answer... - How To Replace Rubber Strap For Cradle On Thule T3 Bike CarrierIt sounds like you are wanting to replace the strap on your T3 bike. If the # 753-3535 strap is all you need to replace you do not have to remove the cradle. One of the Experts I work with made a video that shows how to replace just the strap on your carrier. I have attached a link to the video you can check out. If you need to replace the # 853-5829 cradle on your carrier, then yes you will need to drill out the rivet holding the cap in place. You will want to replace the rivet with...

I did confirm with my contact at Thule that the two replacement parts you referenced, T3 Cradle Body # 853-5829 and Rubber Strap # 753-3535, are indeed the correct current replacement parts for your 10+ year-old Spare Me rack. These are not identical to the original parts but they will work fine. Both of these are sold as single units. Thule is a company that truly...

view full answer... - Thule Apex Bike Carrier Straps Not Long Enough for Alternative Frame BikesThe straps that are on the Thule Apex bike carriers are all # 852-3006-001. This is a 8-3/4 inch long strap unstretched meaning the diameter, if you made a circle with it, would be around 2-3/4 inches. The frame on the bike would either have to be a large diameter or more of an elliptical shape for the strap not to fit. In this situation first make sure that you are not over tightening the straps. They don't have to be as tight as you can get them, just snug. And if that isn't working...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Difficult Use of Thule Rubber Strap for Bike RackIf you live in an area where it is currently cold (since this is February) then the issue is that the rubber strap like part # 753-3535 are being difficult to stretch due to the cold. Try heating the rubber straps up a little by taking the bike rack inside the house/garage or taking a blow dryer to them. This will allow them to flex some so that you can get them to attach to your bike rack. If you are in a warmer area then the same concept can be applied but it is a little less likely....

- Are Longer Straps Available to Carry a Wide Frame Bike on a Hanging Bike RackStrap # P482 is the longest strap available at 9-1/2 inches long overall. But it may not fit your bike rack unless you happen to have a Swagman Trailhead rack. You might be able to use an adpater bar, # Y02531. The larger end that would attach to the seat post is 4-1/4 inches long by 2-1/8 inches wide. If that is large enough to fit around the seat post then the other end would clamp around the handlebar post and you would attach the bike rack straps to the adapter bar rather than around...

If you don't know what model you have then you can try sending a photo and I can go about trying to identify it that way. However, the Replacement T3 Cradle Body part # 853-5829 and the Replacement Rubber Strap part # 753-3535 will work for all but the 980, 984,...
