Video Transcript for Thule Hitch Bike Racks 852-3037-001 Review

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the replacement anti sway attachment for Thule Apex and Helium Aero bike racks. This unit replaces one ant sway attachment on the holdfast cradle of your Thule Apex or Helium Aero bike rack. It fits Thule Apex models TH9025, TH9026, and TH9027 and it fits Thule Helium models TH9042, and Th9043. Now this is designed to work with the cradle and a rubber strap to prevent your bike from rocking back and forth during transport. It attaches to the angled extension on the bottom of the cradle or directly to the cradle if you don't have the angled extension. It protects your bike frame from scratches because it features these really nice, soft thermoplastic elastomer bumpers.

So it's a really nice designed unit. It really cushions it so that way it's not the construction of the bike on bare plastic, but makes contact with these bumpers to protect the bike finishing and the bike frame from scratches abrasions or any type of damage. That's gonna do it for today's look at the replacement ant sway attachment for the Thule Apex and Helium Aero bike racks.

Over the lifetime of my Thule bike rack I have had to order several Anti Sway cradles and Angled Extensions because they keep falling off. Once I install them on the bike rack I pull on them to make sure they are attached securely. Nonetheless, at some point they fall off. I don't understand why. If you have any suggestions, I would apprreciate them. Thank you.



by:

Easy to use. Works well to stabilize any bike we've used on the rack. Due to design of rack remember to remove bar if rack is on the car without a bike. We lost a bar that way.

Still using the stabilizing bar. We remove if rack on car without a bike.

This is a hard to find part for discontinued Apex Thule bike rack. Ordered several of these, and they fit great.



by:

Arrived earlier than expected, fit perfectly. I actually installed this on the Thule 934PRO Hitching Post Pro.



by:

Hard to find parts, delivered quickly. Well done.



by:

Thanks for keeping me up to date with my order. This was a hard-to-get item for me as I recently lost one off my Thule Helium rack (which was also purchased at etrailer.com along with the hitch!). Service from etrailer.com has always been excellent and I wouldn't look any place other than etrailer.com for hitches or racks.



by:

Perfect fit. Good price.



by:

Just as described and fast shipping. Great service and communication. My first time purchasing and happy with the experience.



by:

I was very impressed on how fast my order arrived, many thanks



by:

After my son borrowed my bike rack three of the four clips were missing. On a whim I looked for them online and discovered etrailer.com stocked them. I ordered three and they arrived in no time. I appreciate the fast service and what I feel was a good price for the item.

The items are working great. No issues.



by:

I have lost many off these anti sway attachments. They easily dislodge from the bike rack.



by:

Product was accurately described on the website. Product was in stock. Delivered in a timely manner.



by:

The price was amazing! I purchased 8 of these Anti-sway attachments for my Thule bike rack. Thule was charging almost $30.00 for two! Not only was the price wonderful but the customer service-outstanding. I had my order in a few days!! Love this company! Thank you!

Outstanding



by:

These fit my bike rake as advertised. Prompt shipping and follow up from a company rep to ensure satisfaction.



by:

see product review for the other part that connects to this. It is poor from the viewpoint that they should be one so they are not lost and have a permanent attachment to the Thule bike rack.

I keep losing them. This is a poor design by the manufacturer. However, your service has been absolutely great.



by:

I own the Yakama swing Daddy bike rack and the Thule Apex 4 bike rack. I think this part should've been part of the Apex bike rack in the first place. In general I think Yakama makes a better bike rack with a permanent anti-sway mechanism so it can't get stolen. The Thule anti-sway attachment can easily be stolen, so I would recommend taking it off when you leave on your bike ride. This part does what it should, but keep in mind you may need the angled extension part as well since the Apex bar is curved. Putting the anti-sway attachment by itself may not allow the bike to hang straight down. eTrailor did a great job shipping my item and keeping me updated on the status of my shipment.



by:

About a year ago, we purchased a number of replacement parts for our Thule aluminum bike rack. They've all been great. Both anti-sway attachments and straps have held up well, and we've now driven them up and down the US East Coast several times. Very happy with both product and service, and I'd strongly recommend etrailer.com to anyone in the market for replacement parts for their Thule bike rack!



by:

Perfect fit, excellent quality



by:

On-time delivery. The emails during the delivery process and the follow-up once the order was delivered made the experience feel very personalized. I will use etrailer again for my upcoming purchases.



by:

Seem to work ok if you make very sure they are tight and only have the blue strips against your bike. I've rubbed the paint off two bike frames. Works much better on standard hardtail frames. Mounting to full suspension bikes using an adapter bar is tricky. I think the extra extension adapter may help but haven't tried it yet.



by:

These Anti_Sway cradles from an Thule Apex Bike rack also fit on the Thule Vertex Bike Rack #TH9028XT.

These cradles have the RDT (Road Dampening Technology) cushioning that is non-marking. They work great to securely hold and cushion your expensive Carbon Fiber Bikes on your Thule Vertex Bike Rack. I've been using these for just over a year now and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them !!!



by:

This is an exact replacement of the anti-sway for a Thule Helium rack purchased about 4 years ago, before a design change of the Helium. My local retailer (where I bought the rack) said the part is no longer available. It's been difficult to track down "old design" with rubber straps versus "new design" with plastic straps, but the photos on eTrailer helped me find the correct part. Thank you!



by:

I recently purchased the excellent Thule Helium Aero Hitch Bike Carrier from a local bike shop. It had been a display model. Somewhere along the last 5,000 miles, noticed that one of the three anti-sway attachments was missing and realized I should pick up a few spare replacement straps for good measure if I could find affordable spare parts for the carrier. Despite my initial skepticism about my prospects, I found etrailer.com in Missouri. The replacement parts were in my hands speedily and for a fraction of what I thought I'd need to pay. Service was so good that etrailer.com will be my 'first look' when similar needs emerge in future.



by:

We were stuck; a crucial part was broken on our Thule bike rack and we could not find the part in any area bike stores. We were lucky to find what we needed at E-Trailer. The website is easy to navigate and products clearly explained but we called to ensure our selection was correct.
I was impressed with how the shipment can be tracked and that each person in the packing and processing was featured in a photo. Nice to see a company recognize all their employees. I would especially like to thank Tanith for her help in expediting our order and ensuring that we received it so quickly.
I definitely recommend this online company. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.



by:

Bought this to replace one that fell off my new Thule Helium Aero rack after only one week of use! Arrived quickly which is great as we were about to go on a long road trip and these definitely help minimize swaying.

Upon closer inspection, the way this cradle attaches to the rack arms isn’t very secure and I can see how one could easily fall off through normal driving when the rack is not in use – not a great design by Thule. Now I secure it to the rack using the strap even when I’m not carrying any bikes.

Great price from etrailer ,so I also bought an extra one just in case.
