The parts fit on my twelve-year-old Thule bike rack, at a fair price.
by:
Part fit nice and snug on my HF truck bike rack. Will buy more as the old wear out
by:
After an extensive research I decided to go with the Thule Helium 2.0. This rack is extremely light with very pleasing body structure. In addition it has a built in bike lock cable.
I received the rack 3 days after ordering from etrailer and the installation was a piece of cake.
At $379.00 is on the expensive side, however it is super light and it is not an eyesore.
Awesome Product !!!

I have a 15+ year old Thule hitching post bike rack with 1" tubing. One of the cradle straps broke and I've been looking for a replacement. REI couldn't help me. I looked on Amazon but found what I wanted on etrailer.com for The old cradle had an integrated strap (bad design). I bought the 853-7887 cradle and this strap. Worked great. It took a bit of elbow grease and wd-40 to wiggle it into the tubing. But it'll work just fine.

This replacement strap is specifically for Thule Apex, Gateway, Helium Aero, Raceway PRO, Parkway, and Vertex bike racks. Do you have one of these bike racks and the strap isn't fitting?

by:
Been missing these pieces for a year now . . . happy to find an outlet for them.
by:
Works as intended.

Way better description (and photos) than Thule's own site, where I ordered the wrong part ( NO PHOTOS on their site) and then found out that the tiny print says No Returns on parts. I'll be back on etrailer instead.

@Robert Glad to hear it! Thanks for the report!

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!

As a quick follow-up, I can confirm that - after another year of use - the replacement parts for our Thule rack continue to hold up great. I literally couldnt be more pleased with the purchase, and know that - if I do ultimately wear out any of the straps or anti-sway attachments - Ill be back for more. Thanks again etrailer.com!

by:
I was so disappointed when my bike straps failed and panicked - - UNTIL I found ETRAILER.com and saw that I was able to replace broken parts not only affordably but expeditiously! They did a great job of getting my much needed purchases to me quickly! I will be happy to have these folks on speed-dial or in a bookmark for future assistance!
I bought a dozen replacement straps for my expensive Thule bike rack. The straps didn't last but a year, so I'll be getting more of these, no doubt. Love the bike rack, need the straps...so happy to have a source.

so far, so good. not enough riding, however!!!

by:
Bought these with the Replacement Stay-Put Cradle for Thule Parkway and Roadway Bike Carriers to replace my Bell cradles and straps. These straps are great. They stretch just enough to make it easy to add or remove from the cradle which I do every time I use my bike rack. I remove them when I bike as they aren't attached to the cradle and I don't want them taken while on my bike ride. They secure my bike well and have stayed in great condition. Probably won't have to replace any of them unless I totally abuse them.

straps are still working great. i keep my carrier outside but in the shade and this has helped to keep the straps working like new.

by:
We have a Bell two-bike carrier that we like but the Bell cradles rotted and crumbled to pieces after a few years. I had trouble finding any that looked well-made, but finally found the Thule brand at etrailer.com and liked the look of them. I ordered these to go with some replacement Thule cradles and am very happy with them. They are easy to use and seem to hold firmly. I think they are very high quality and recommend them to anyone needed replacement straps for the Thule cradles.

They still look new and are still working great. Still highly recommended.

Great replacement straps for my Thule bike rack.

Every few years the straps will dry rot and tear, so I purchase the necessary amount to replace those that are torn...plus a few extra to carry as spares.

This is my fourth purchase through e-trailer...and all purchases have been very successful.

It’s been a full year since your last purchased the bicycle straps. We’ve used the bicycle rack extensively throughout Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan. They remain a great, well priced product.

by:
So glad I ordered the replacement straps for the cradles on my Thule bike rack. I probably stretch them too tight to make sure my bicycle is secure on our bumpy dirt roads so having extras in my car in case they break solves that issue. Thanks for carrying them, etrailer!

Same as when I purchased them. Perfect! I use the bike rack constantly & the straps are holding up, especially since i’m Not stretching them to their limit.

Excellent quality! Outstanding customer service!

Exceptional product. I like that the rack folds out of the way. Works well with my bikes. The only problem I have had is the rubber straps have broken on two occasions and I had to replace them. Also, they should incorporate some reflective tape on the sides and back.

etrailers replaced the part that broke rubber strap promptly and no questions asked. The product has held up well and I have had no problems. I love this bike rack. Great service.

These straps are not the right ones for my Thule bike rack. I need straps with square holes that are larger than these. I might be able to make do with bungee cords and these straps. I have looked on the site and donor see the size and style that I need.

The older style straps with the square holes have been discontinued for a few years. You can use this style strap, but must also upgrade the cradles for this to be compatible. Thanks!

I had to replace the Thule straps for a Vertex hitch rack since my bag of tools and accessories was stolen. The replacement of the straps that etrailer are pretty much OEM it seems, and they got them to me in a short period of time. The price was great compared to other e-tailers.

Thank you etrailer!!!

The Thule replacement parts we offer are sourced directly from Thule. Thule will update their products on an ongoing basis, so sometimes the replacement part will be the updated version and will look slightly different from the original but should still fit and work correctly.

by:
Bought three of these straps for my Thule Parkway TH958, because the old ones already have tears in them. One for each of the cradles for the bike's top tube, and one for the anti-sway cradle. Got them in time for the weekend!

  • Availability Of Replacement Parts For Graber Outback 4 Bike Rack
    Hello Scott. We do offer a few compatible replacement parts for the Graber Outback 4 bike rack, although we do not carry the Graber brand. We have a set of Thule frame cradles that we know fit a 1 inch diameter bike rack tube which is what the Graber Outback bike rack uses according to my research. The Thule T3 cradle, # 853-5829, fits on Thule bike racks with 1 inch diameter arms and will work well for you. The anti-sway cage needed is part # 753-3530 and the strap part # 852-3006-001.

  • Frame Cradle and Anti-Sway Cradle Recommendation for Allen Bike Rack with 1 inch Arm
    The # 853-7887 is designed to fit a 1 inch diameter tube. Since the arms of your rack are 1 inch in diameter this cradle would work, and then for a strap you could get the part # 852-3006-001. For a anti-sway cradle you would want the part # 853-7758.

It is sold individually and a identical replacement for the one that came on your bike rack. We also have the Replacement Hold Fast Cradle for Thule Apex Bike Racks item # 7521513002 and the Replacement Hold Fast Cradle Strap item # 852-3006-001 if you need to replace the rest of the cradle parts.

  • Replacement Cradles for Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack for Different Style Cradle Than New Hideaway
    The Thule Apex XT 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9024XT has the hideaway cradles that are the update from the Hold Fast cradle # 852-3005-002 you referenced. I measured the Apex and the cradle and they will fit but they don't screw in place like the new cradles. Then you will use the Replacement Anti-Sway Attachment for Thule Archway, Gateway, Roadway, and Vertex Bike Racks - Qty 1 # 852-2903-001 and straps # 852-3006-001.

  • Looking For Replacement Straps Or Cradles For Thule Bike Rack Made In 2015
    Hello Annalisa, thanks for reaching out. The straps you pictured and the bike rack look at lot like the old Thule T2. Do you happen to know the name or model number of your Thule Rack? That is usually the best way to confirm the correct replacement parts. Thule did make a few different models of bike rack back then, and the straps are largely model specific. That said, if what you have is the Thule T2 (sure looks like it is), you can use the following strap: - Replacement Rubber Strap...

  • Replacement Parts for a Thule 4-Bike Parkway
    Good news! I can help you revive your Thule Bike Rack. It looks like you have a Thule Parkway. The replacement original cradles for this rack look quite a bit different than the ones in your image, so they must have been replaced previously, with something other than the Thule cradle. The replacement cradle for the Parkway is the # 853-7887 and the rubber strap for that cradle is the # 852-3006-001.

  • Replacement Parts for Old Thule Roadway 912 Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
    We still have parts for the Thule Roadway # TH912XTR. To secure your bike rack in your receiver, you will want the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 for a locking option or just the replacement pin # 853-5917. For your cradles, I recommend the Replacement Stay-Put Cradle for Thule Roadway Bike Carriers # 853-7887 you mentioned and the Replacement Anti-Sway Cage # 853-7758. These cradles will fit the arms of your old bike carrier. If you want replacement straps,...

    The anti-sway cradles part # 852-2903-001 for the Thule Trailway which is the same as our Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR just snaps onto the main cradle body part # 853-7887. It may take a bit of force to do this but nonetheless that is the process. This does not require any tools nor do you need to remove anything to do so. The rubber strap part # 852-3006-001 then secures the bike to the anti-sway cradle.

  • Replacement Cradles, Straps and Sway Carriages For Thule Bike Rack With 1" Diameter Bars
    The Replacement Cradle # RG8890084 will also fit a 1" diameter bar. It is designed for Rhode Gear bike racks as a replacement. The Swagman Replacement Anti-Sway Cradles # SP499 that you found are designed for a 1-1/8" bar. They would not fit onto your Thule rack with the 1" bars. The Replacement Stay-Put Cradle # 853-7887, Replacement Strap # 852-3006-001 and Replacement Anti-Sway Cage # 853-7758 will be the best fit and function for your Thule Rack.

  • Replacement Anti-Sway Cage and Strap for Thule Vertex Bike Rack
    The Thule # 852-2903-001 is the replacement Anti-Sway cage for the Stay-Put cradles used on your Thule Vertex bike rack. The necessary strap is part # 852-3006-001. The parts are sold individually, so you'd need one of each per bike. The # 853-7887 you'd looked at is a cradle for an older Thule bike rack, not an anti-sway cage.

  • Replacement Frame Cradle Recommendation for Bell Bike Rack with 1 inch Diameter Arms
    The # 853-7887 is designed to fit a 1 inch diameter tube. If the arms of your rack are 1 inch in diameter this cradle would work, and then for a strap use # 852-3006-001. For a anti-sway cradle you would want the part # 853-7758.

    I checked with Thule and the Roadway 915XT was supposed to come with anti-sway attachments for the frame cradles and the replacement is part # 852-2903-001. Someone must not have liked them for some reason the rack you have and took them off. You'll also need one more strap per cradle unless you want to use some of the ones on the cradles you won't be utilizing. For those we have the part # 852-3006-001.
