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.

Replaces a rubber strap for your Thule T2 bike carrier.It took some time to determine which were the right parts for my very old Thule bike rack, but we got it done with the help of Noah in customer service. The install was easy and these replacement parts worked great along with the originals. The reason for 4 star is the price of the straps is ridiculous at $[XX] each which is separate from the cradle at $[XX] each!
I received the straps and the cradles quickly. They fit my Bell 3 carrier bike rack which I converted to a 2 carrier bike rack. They are difficult to screw on so I ended up spraying a little WD40 on the posts. I ended up with a blister but it was worth the end result. Thanks!!!
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.
Steve - 05/12/2020I 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.
This cradle works perfectly. Installation Tip: Apply Vaseline to the inside of the cradle and this cradle will slide easily over the Thule bike carrier arms.
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!
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).
Exactly what we needed for our Thule bike carrier. Other products would not have worked and these are the same straps as the originals. Excellent service- shipped quick.
I wanted to respond to thank you and your company for your service. The bike rack parts have been great for us. Here is a picture of how we use your products. I have built some custom bike racks for the back of our trucks and we use the Thule saddles and straps to hold down the bikes
Wasn't sure if I would be able to get new straps but Jane S in Customer Service helped me find the exact replacements that I needed on my older Thule bike rack.
Our Thule bike rack is old, like 18 years old. It had broken bike stays and nylon straps with clips to hold the bike on. These fit and work great. A brand new bike rack. Thanks.
I'm extremely satisfied with etrailer,they're the real DEAL. Don't waste time with these other sites,great customer service good prices and fast shipping, what else could ya ask for! Thanks

The parts were not the right size And did not fit my bike rack I am now using bungee coeds Not very happy Waisted time and money
This product I searched for and had a hard time finding. etrailers had it in stock, affordable price and the fastest shipping and receiving I have ever seen. I had it right away and their customer service was following up as to when the product would arrive. I will use them again.
Perfect replacement strap for my Thule bike carrier
We designed our own bike rack and used these pieces to hold our bikes in place. They are simply FANTASTIC!!! Keep the bikes very sturdy on the rack and hold up in all types of weather. Shipping was fast and customer service excellent. I would highly recommend for a replacement part for your Thule rack or if you make your own like we did!!
Exactly what I needed. Not exact to my very old bike rack but works great, just the same. Glad to find it and not replace the whole rack!
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.
All the original rubber straps on my Thule Expressway 995 bike rack broke or were about to break. Plus they always slid downhill towards the front of the vehicle while driving. Those parts unfortunately are no longer made and have been replaced by the 753-3535 and 8535829 straps and cradles. I ordered these parts and they came in a timely manner. I had to drill out the pop rivet for the locking cable on the rack (no big deal - high security!) and everything came apart easy. I had to use a paper towel with a little bit of dish detergent and rub it on the rack pipes as the new parts fit very tight - watch the video on this. However, since they are tight, the bikes no longer move around while driving - Hooray! Put a pop rivet back in for theft prevention, at least the dirt bag would need more than a Phillips screwdriver to get the locking cable off. Overall a great product & service.
The new straps are exact replacements for the old ones and weren’t too difficult to install.

Replaced the wore out straps on my old Bell bike rack. Like new.
the product is exactly what I wanted, shipped quickly, I had searched around for these replacement straps and the only ones I could find came from Thule, exactly the same, and these are half the price. Again, I was impressed at how quickly they got the order out and to me. Joe L
