Replaces a lost or damaged fat tire wheel strap for your Thule T2 Classic platform bike rack.by: Eric 07/20/2023
I purchased these wheel straps as replacements, have had them for about a year they fit and work well, they hold up even better than the original ones as far as being weathered!
by: Avid cyclist05/06/2023
My bike rack is from 2016. I can't find replacement straps anywhere. Mine age hardened and cracked apart. etrailer was the only place I could find them. This company is a breeze to work with. I wish the straps weren't so expensive, but it's still cheaper than a whole new bike rack - which I'll probably have to get once these straps break.
by: Traci 06/20/2023
Just what I needed for our bike rack.
Shipping was quick.
by: Robert09/02/2022
Ordered extra long wheel straps so that I can carry my electric fat bike on my Thule T2 classic rack, the straps were no longer than my current straps.. very disappointed.
Comments
Its a replacement strap, meaning it replaces the strap that comes with it or upgrade to this. The length is shown on the page...18 inches. Do you have it routed wrong?

These are really husky, long straps. But, they do not fit the rear wheel trays on our Thule rack. There is no way to attach them. The ends don't have the round cylinders that fit into the grooves in the Thule rear wheel tray. But, I was able to bolt one of them to the Fiamma bike rack strap I adapted to the Fat Tire front tray I modified to fit the Fiamma bike rack on our Airstream Trailer. Now I have purchased a newer fat tire rear wheel tray with larger strap that I will put onto the existing Thule bike rack with the new Fat Tire front tray. It's all good!

The Thule T2 Fat Tire Wheel Strap is too short for a fat tire bike. I ride my fat tires at 5-6 psi and the strap does not go around the tire and wheel unless I really force down on the tire I might get one groove to engage. So I have to let most of the air out to engage the strap, then pump it back up to ride. Thule should add at least 1" (2.54cm) to the length. I am sure I am not the only one with this problem. Other than the short strap I do like the Thule Rack.

Your site was the only one that I could be sure that the strap was the correct replacement..etrailer.
Fit perfect. I didn't think it would be over xx$ for a strap, but everything costs more now..
I'm satisfied xx%

Pretty quick delivery also.

Couldn't find replacement straps for my Thule 5 year old bike rack. 2 straps had age hardened and broke. I was so happy to find this site. The straps fit perfect and I didn't have to purchase a whole new bike rack! Thank you!
by: Lisa 03/16/2021
Perfect! I’ve looked for these straps, and they have been hard to get. Not only did trailer have them in stock, they shipped quickly to Alaska. No hassle.
Comments
Still using these. They are holding up well. Great product.
Lisa - 03/17/2022by: Daniel 01/03/2022
Product was great, but turns out I didn't really need it. Thule info with the rack didn't really explain how to change the position of the strap in order to fit my fat bike, I had to rely on the excellent video review of the rack that I found on Etrailer side for that. Thanks, but now I have plenty of extra straps.
by: Juan11/02/2021
Didn’t fit my t2 classic that had a missing strap.
Comments
Thank you for your feedback. Based on our research with Thule the strap measures17-12 inches and from the hole to the end measures 16-14 inches. Most likely the issue you are experiencing is that you have the correct length strap but it is not routed properly for use with a fat bike. What you would need to do is pull out the current strap you have and then route it through the outside of the cradle.
-- Jenny N - 11/04/2021by: Evan 01/12/2022
Glad to find these. Fit our Thule T2 pro XTR perfectly.
The orignal straps were cut by thieves stealing our bikes.
by: Brenda 08/11/2021
I am giving four stars because through e- trailer I can order only the strap, rather than the entire assembly, saving quite a bit of money. With new bikes having larger tires and wheels the straps are still too short. I ordered the straps because I’m going to cobble two together to make a long strap to fit my new mountain bike.
by: Alan 07/17/2021
I bought a almost new XT2 Pro, tried to mount my fat bike, and the strap wasnt long enough.. Got online, bought then fat bike strap, 18". Delivered 3 days later. Great! Threaded it thru, ended up being the SAME as what came with the rack. Looked at the never read owners manual, and all I had to do was short thread it. IE, put it in the trough that was a few inches closer, and it worked perfectly! So, ya dont have to buy a longer strap, just pull it out, and thread it into the NEXT location. It does my 4" fatty perfectly! I will keep the extra strap, justin case!
by: Shaune12/19/2018
Strap is the exact one I need for my Thule T2 bike rack.....Came quick, is brand new, and I am very happy with the product and service.
Thanks

Delivery is prompt and properly package d.
by: Bob08/03/2020
The strap is 18" long. I had thought that it would be longer. You're still going to have to reroute the strap through the secondary latch point. You won't be able to go full through both latch points with this (or any) strap and still fit your fat bikes.

Well!!!
Bob W - 08/04/2021by: Jon 10/04/2022
Works great
by: Wayne04/03/2022
The bands were too short. Couldn’t use them.
Comments
You mentioned that the strap was too short. I wanted to ask a few questions. The strap that you received should have been 18 inches long. Also, which Thule model bike rack are you using the strap on?
-- Jenny N - 04/14/2022by: Marlon Gonzalez 10/23/2017
Great service! Parts replaced where the same! Great low prices!

The product allows me to use my mid fat bike on my bike carrier.

She stated that this is a European only model bike rack so it and direct replacement parts for it aren't available in the US. With that being said, she did say that the cradles for this rack are very similar to the older US Thule Criterium bike rack. The replacement ratcheting wheel strap for the Criterium is the part # 853-6512, which does look identical to the one used on your Free Ride based on the pictures I was...

- Fat Tire Strap Adapter for Thule T2 Classic Bike RackSounds like you have a Thule T2 Classic part # TH9045 and you have the fat tire adapter part # 7521568001 but not the fat tire strap adapter part # 8527642001.

- Is There A Longer Strap For Fat Tire Bikes On A Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack Available?For your Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV, there is not a longer strap available unfortunately. The Thule T2 Pro is already designed to work with fat tire bikes that have a maximum tire width of 5", and a maximum wheel diameter of 20-29". What you can do is try re-threading the strap just from the side of the rear wheel cradle, instead of from the bottom and go all the way under the cradle. We do carry replacement wheel straps # 8527642001 if you should need it.
view full answer... - Max Tire Size for Thule T2 Classic Bike RackThe max tire size for the Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack like part # TH9044-TH9046 is 5". There are no longer wheel straps to accept a larger size as the cradle would need upgraded at that point as well. The replacement wheel strap for this rack is the Replacement Fat Tire Wheel Strap for Thule T2 Classic Platform Bike Racks part # 8527642001 which measures 18" long.
view full answer... - Best Way To Transport Fat E-Bike with 2018 Kia OptimaTrunk mounted bike racks are not a good idea for carrying heavier e-bikes as they don't have the weight capacity needed as well as there's a strong likelihood you'd damage the vehicle from the extra weight. I'd strongly recommend installing a trailer hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24965 so that you can use a hitch mounted e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the needed capacity as it was designed for e-bikes. Since your bikes have fat tires you'll need the...
