Video Transcript for Hands-On with the Replacement Rubber Strap for Wheel Hoop on Swagman XTC Series Bike Carriers

Hey, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at our replacement straps for your Swagman platform bike racks here at etrailer.com. We have this installed on our Swagman XTC TILT. But you can also check out our product page to see if it'll work with your bike rack. As long as they have straps and as long as they have the tabs there, this will work as a replacement part.

Maybe over time, you get some wear and tear of your strap, or it's been out in the sun a little bit too long, or exposed to the elements and it's tough and hard, that's when you replace your strap. So, you just take it off of its old tab, get your new strap. You can actually pick and choose which tab you want to use. I prefer on the inside so that I pull outwards and that's it. You we're able to replace your strap for your Swagman bike rack.

But if you have other parts that need replacing, we have those here at etrailer.com. I'm gonna show you how to install them as well as how to figure out what is the right part that you need. But this right here was a look at the replacement strap for your Swagman XTC series like bike racks at etrailer.com..

After five years of regular use, one of the straps broke. The replacement straps arrived just in time.



by:

Although a very good strap for securing the wheels, they are a little tough to hook the tab. I am thinking the round tabs should be designed with a oval tab with a T shape slot design of the slots on the strap so then you could make the side length beefier as that is where ours have ripped. Bought extras for future breaks. Still works well when intact.



by:

These straps were exactly what we needed. The regular updates on the status of my order was greatly appreciated.



by:

There good but I had a broken strap and a missing bolt that holds cross bar on and I cant get anyone to send it when I bought it but straps I ordered are gd thanks

Just like the original straps that came with the bike rack. It took some time for the manufacturer to get these to etrailer. But, the staff kept me informed of the delays and notified me promptly of their arrival. Keep up the excellent service, for I'm sure to buy again for my trailering needs.

Great! They perfectly replaced the ones I broke.



by:

Lost a hook prior to one of the straps breaking after years of consist use. The hook was my fault, left it on the car bumper after removing the bikes. With both purchases etrailer was easy to use in finding the exact replacement parts at a reasonable price, shipping was quick and delivered on time. Was not sure about the bike rack when I purchased it given how affordable the swagman xtc-2 was, but after nearly seven years of steady use the rack is still going strong.



by:

Needed new straps to keep bike on rack. The ones I received are perfect. Shipped quikly. Good quality.

  • Replacement Top Plate Assembly for Older Swagman 4-Bike Hitch Rack
    For a Swagman Original 4-bike rack we offer part # P113, Replacement Top Plate for Swagman Original Series 4 Bike Carriers from 1999 through 2008. We do offer a wide range of other replacement parts for many brands of bike racks, including hitch-mount racks that go back a few years.

  • Replacement Strap for 4-Bike Swagman Rack
    Replacement Strap for Swagman Trailhead Bike Carriers # P482 or the Wheel Hoop Strap # P308 are the straps that most people are using for the 4 bike Swagman Bike carriers. If you let me know the bike carrier you are using, there may be options from other manufacturers that may work with your rack.

  • Recommended Rubber Bike Strap for 10 Inch Tie-Down
    The exact measurements you are seeking are not easy to find. We don't have anything that I am aware of that is exact, so if precision to your measurements is important, you may need to custom make something. I recommend the Replacement Rubber Chain Straps for Yakima Bike Racks with Anti-Sway Cradles # 8890221 which is 9 inches long and has 1/2 inch holes for a possible option. Another possible option is # 853-7803 which is 11-3/8 inches long with 1/2 inch holes. The Swagman # P308 may...

  • Replacement Wheel Straps for Bike Racks with 1/2" Diameter Holes
    You are correct that the Softride straps were discontinued. The Replacement Rubber Strap for Wheel Hoop on Swagman XTC Series Bike Carriers # P308 you were looking at has a hole diameter of 1/2" and is 12" long compared to the 9-13/16" length of the Softride straps. The 1/2" diameter is as close as we have to the 3/8" diameter of the Softride straps. I have included some options below that have the 1/2" diameter and are different lengths.

  • How do the Replacement Rubber Straps for the Swagman XTC Bike Rack Install
    If you check out the picture of the wheel hoops part # P318 that I attached you will see how the straps # P308 attach to them. You can also go to the product page for the # P318 to see the picture. Basically you just stretch the rubber holes over the attachment points of the hoops. Fast forward to the 1:05 mark of the video I attached to see how they secure a wheel to the rack.

  • Bike Rack Straps for a Platform Bike Rack that Does Not have Straps
    Some platform bike racks don't have wheel straps. For example # S64650. Depending on the design of the bike rack you might be able to use straps # S64765 which are 8 inches long. We also have # 63135 which are 17 inches long (and designed for a different platform bike rack). I am sure that one of these 2 sets will work for you.

  • Recommended Hose Rack for a Tanker Trailer
    The closest I can get to that that we have is the Replacement Wheel Strap for Thule Raceway Platform Style Bike Carrier # P308 which measures 11 3/8" overall, and has 10 1/2" wide holes. If it's just a hose rack you're looking for, the Rack'Em 2-Hook Multi-Tool Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-11 is what I'd go for. This can be mounted to your trailer, has 2 hooks for hanging your hose, and the hooks are also predrilled so they can be screwed into any surface. .

  • Replacement Wheel Strap Recommendation for Swagman XTC Bike Rack
    For a replacement wheel strap for your Swagman XTC bike rack you would want the part # P308 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Replacement Straps for Swagman XTC Bike Rack S64671
    We do have replacement straps for the Swagman XTC bike racks like the part # S64671 with the part # P308. This is a more economically priced bike rack and one of the sacrifices that ends up getting made on the lower priced racks is overall stability and movement. The clearances just aren't as tight and the rack will more more. The bike rack that is most similar in design and price that is very solid is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z which is what I normally recommend for people.
