Works perfectly on Thule stay-put cradles. Just make sure the bike is tightly strapped on and you're good to go! 132491

A year later and my anti-sway cages are still perfect!

This review is NOT about the product, but about the customer service people I had contact with. Let's face it, you can buy this stuff lots of places. HOWEVER, the customer service people were fantastic. I wanted to purchase replacement parts for a Thule bike rack. I had no info on model, etc. The representative at etrailer researched Thule and found my bike rack was made in 1990, and parts were no longer available. But she did not stop there (as most would). Instead she located the necessary parts that would work on my rack. They are somewhat different, but yet function perfectly. I would have had to discard my bike rack if the rep. Had not taken the time to research and contact me with the info and then helped me fill my order. This is a great place to do business! 227423

This works well and does exactly what I wanted it to (it keeps the bikes steady so they don't rock back and forth into each other). However, I have 2 water bottle holders on my bike and it is a woman's bike (so the bar angles down instead of straight across). This makes it difficult to get the stay-put cradle in the correct spot. It's pretty long and the extra water bottle holder gets in the way. My husband's bike also had 2 water bottle holders, but because his is a man's bike there is plenty of room and it fits easily. 206203

I purchased this anti-sway cage and cradle to retro fit to my older Thule Passage rack. I bought the rack used from Craigslist and it did not have any clamps on the bike support arms, only some black plastic protective sleeves. I believe the rack was an older version of the 910XT. Thanks to the details on this site and awesome pictures I was confident that they would fit (pic shows all the dimensions was very handy) The items arrived in a well packed box with no instructions, but all you need to do is slide them onto the bars (and I am sure there is plenty of info and help on etrailer if I had asked :) ) The older passenger rack has upturned ends on the support arms so the cradles did not slide right on, but after a little WD-40 (which will eventually wash off, but the best thing to slide rubber grips on to new bars is actually hairspray. It allows the item to slide and then drys slightly sticky. I use it when I change grips on my MTB) they slide right on. I haven't checked them on the car yet but I am sure they will be great.

The product broke upon doing what is was preventing my bike from doing-swaying. The piece is plastic and the weather was cold. But at least there is an easy replacement through eTrailer. I ordered an extra for the next time it breaks. 112635

I ordered extra parts last time and since I have extras, havent needed them. But it is good to know where to get them should I need them!

I've had my bike rack for over five years, and, while the model has since been replaced, it's fantastic that etrailer offers OEM replacement parts for rubber and plastic pieces that naturally age and wear out. The anti-sway cradle and strap were direct replacements and fit perfectly. Easy to install and work perfectly. etrailer did a great job communicating the order's progress, and it was shipped the day I ordered. Great work! 273339

Thanks for the follow-up...what exceptional customer service! Im most impressed! The Thule parts continue to work perfectly.

I really like the bike rack I bought from the etrailer.com. The product has great quality. This anti-sway cages I bought now are to replace the ones that were broken by people who once broke into our car and tore down the parts. The customer service people are really helpful to identify the parts for us. I am very greateful for their help. They are one of the best custermer service people I have ever met. So feel safe and confident to purchase anything from this company. 72239

I added these high quality Thule bike cradles as replacements to cheap plastic ones that came mounted on my $30 non-Thule bike rack. The 1" pipe size was the same, making this retrofit an excellent solution to an annoying problem. The cheap plastic holders on the rack I purchased broke the first time I used them. These will last a lifetime and do a better job - Thule offers the anti-sway which no cheap rack includes. The straps are also great for sun and salt - they don't harden, crack, break, or rot. 337752

I took a garage sale junker bike rack and replaced all the components with Thule parts. It is fabulous - I can now be secure and fast and know it will stay that way for many years. Thanks!

These are perfect & just what we needed for our bike rack for additional bikes. Thank you! 671828

Solid parts and great service. The suggested items they show really helps with shaping compatible parts. I will always go here over that other website 653096

Received these very quickly. Just what we need to keep our bikes from swaying while traveling! 651579

Product was exactly what I discussed with the company rep via phone and was delivered fast. It works perfectly. Thanks 653047

Exactly as advertised and just like it came from the factory. 635243

The Thule anti-sway cages are great, but that's not what this review is really about. It really deals with the excellent customer service that etrailer.com provides. The people there notified us promptly, provided an acceptable alternative and shipped quickly. A followup email was sent to make sure we were completely satisfied and we are. We had also purchased a hitch and a hitch adapter from them recently for our Mustang in Florida, and they were the best price, had free shipping and the items arrived very quickly. This is one of the few remaining companies that knows how to treat customers and we will use them for future purchases. 596830

What can you say about a replacement part.....I wish the original didn't wear out? Glad they build replacements! I like etrailer! Their website and instructional videos are excellent. I expect I'll be back. I see more Thule wear and tear on the bike cradle.....maybe it is me... 578763

The replacement Thule parts were priced right and do the job for which they were intended. What more can I say. 572043

Had to replace this part on my old Thule rack - fits perfectly!! 571065

As ordered on time 558375

Great selection and great customer service. Will buy again! 552393

as advertised, working great 542183

The wife found a Thule Hitching Post at a garage sale. It unfortunately didn’t have the anti sway cradles with it. These are a perfect match. And the service! They were shipped out the night I ordered them! Will definitely do business with Etrailer again. Always great reference videos, what a great way to do business. 541805

They are a great source of parts and help for Thule bike rack parts!! 513029

I got exactly what I ordered and It was delivered on time as scheduled. I will certainly order from etrailer again. Thanks. 510411

Works great. An easy upgrade to my old rack. 488169

Excellent customer service. 484355

Very fast shipping. Highly recommended. And now my Thule is fixed. Delightful! 479420

This is just what I needed. I must compliment this company. Although this is an inexpensive part, which they probably only made a dollar or two on, they handled my order like it was the most important one on the list. I've been using them for a few years now, and will certainly continue. 474556

Perfect. Just what I as lookin for! Took a little while for the items to arrive, but shipping charge very reasonable. And I must say the price of the anti-away cage was really great!!! I was so glad to find this company and get the exact part needed. The anti-sway that I had I think was stolen. Can’t see how these things could fall off!! Checking out the site to find more stuff! 467129

replaced my broke part... install was easy after you determined the alignment 466915

Exactly what I needed, great price and arrived quickly. Nice! 441359

The Product I received does not fit the Thule bike rack I own. Therefore, I need to return it. Will I have to absorb the return shipping charges? 436058

Great price/fast shipping! 431892

Needed a replacement part for my Thule bike rack (the original fell off and was lost). This was the exact part I needed. Heads up: it doesn't come with the strap, that has to be ordered separately. 431636

Some Thule bike racks came with this part, others like mine didn't. It made my Thule bike rack more useful and secure. I'm glad this product was available from this website. Etrailer makes all my hitch and trailer stuff a one stop store. 428848

Was exactly what I needed 423657

Fits Thule 917XT. Costs more from etrailer but mfg shipping charges were way higher. In some details etrailer had better info then mfg so I knew I was getting the correct part and its elastic straps as well. Haven't tried their function yet (anti-sway) but fit is correct. 419207

Very please didn't have to wait long fast delivery. The product fit perfectly n it seems very durable. I will order from this company again. Perfect service. Thank you keep up the great job. Now I feel that my bikes are safe and secure. 415113

Easy to install. Well made and strong. 414948

The items I received were spare parts for my recently purchased Thule rack. Rebecca N. Was very helpful in guiding me in sending my order and followed thru to the delivery. Thanks Rebecca! 409238

Great customer service from etrailer.com. The Thule parts were exactly what I needed and were a great value. I am glad that it was so easy to find, order and take delivery of the parts. 410728

I love the product. For some reason my original ones were stolen. You made it easy to replace them and fast delivery. Thank you 398311

Very good product, and the elder ice is good too. Very reliable seller. 398058

by: Ken L.06/13/2017

These are easy to install and use. I find that they do a good job of reducing sway on the hitch mounted bike rack. However I mounted the bike rack on the front of the truck and found that the air pressure there when on the road makes using these in that situation impossible, and it can actually break the attachment 'bars' on the bottom of the cradle. 392644

Great service! Prompt delivery! I will be back to etrailer again. They have a great team. I bought a thule anti sway cage for bike rack. Best deal!! 383212

I have two of these anti-sway cages for both of my bikes. Would not haul my bikes without them! 372256

I needed to order some parts for a Thule Passage 3 trunk rack. They have everything I needed at very reasonable prices. Excellent communications and fast shipping. Thanks! 362228
