Yay! So happy to hear that, Daniel. What type of bike to do you ride?



by:

This product is perfect for carrying long wheelbase recumbent bicycles. Very easy to use. Wouldn't mind having a higher weight rating.

Looks like the rack's working pretty well for you! You'll want to ensure that bike's wheelbase isn't greater than 66 inches (measured axle bolt to axle bolt).



by:

Great service as always!



by:

It fits my bike rack perfectly



by:

Thank you!! Fits perfectly



by:

Perfect fit as advertised!



by:

Working great!



by:

We purchased the bike rack which came with the ratcheting hooks. The bike rack is awesome BTW. In the packing and moving, somehow the hooks have disappeared. The hooks are great and we also have the softride straps for added security.



by:

I would like a return label as this does not suit my needs and is incompatible.



by:

etrailer was very easy to work with and delivered on time



by:

The buttons on these stick sometimes, but my last set did the same thing. Other wise these work great.



by:

Work great, quick shipping and excellent communication



by:

My hooks went missing and so glad I found exact replacements versus purchasing an entire new rack. Fit is perfect, order filled and shipped promptly, delivery was earlier than expected, in other words a perfect shopping experience!

I haul my bike once or twice a week and the hooks continue to cinch like new. A year later, stand by my 5 star rating.



by:

Replacement for a left behind bike rack part - as with the original purchase, this follow-up mirrored prior excellent service, good product and fairly priced.



by:

Order was as described. And everything arrived on time, with great customer service



by:

All I ordered were replacement hooks for my Swagman cycle rack. (I forgot to bring my hooks from home to Florida.)

Swagman makes a great product and their replacement parts are also great.

...but etrailer is the star. Great people to deal with. They had the parts in stock and they processed and delivered them promptly. They also were the low bidder for these parts. My hat is off to them for a good job running their business with customer satisfaction as a main target.

The rack has worked up to my expectations. Very happy w eTrailer products as always



by:

I made the mistake of buying a bike rack from amazon and the hooks had to be screwed down which didn't work well and they bumped into each other only allowing 1 bike to be locked down. The Ratcheting Hook Set for Swagman XTC and XC and Upright Ratcheting Bar for Swagman XTC2 Bike Carrier were the prefect fix. They lock my bikes down securely and make getting the bikes on and off easy and fast. They came at a very good price as well.

@Stephen I'm glad we could provide the parts you needed Stephen! What kind of bikes do you have, and what kind of trails are you hitting? We have the Katy trail here in Missouri, it is more of an easy ride but loaded with bikes. We have some great parks with paved trails as well, was just out with my granddaughter for a ride recently, she just got her first big kid bike with gears =)
