Video Transcript for Review of Thule Hitch Bike Racks - Replacement Fat Tire Front Wheel Tray - 8523598001
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this replacement fat tire front wheel tray for the Thule T1 or T2 Classic platform bike racks. Now, this part here will replace a damaged front fat tire wheel tray on your Thule T1 or T2 Classic platform bike rack. It is designed to fit the Thule part numbers TH9044, TH9045, and the TH9046. It does also work with the T1 Classic bike rack, part number TH9041.
All those bike racks do sell separately on our website. Basically, this tray here will allow you to carry a fat tire bike with up to a five inch wide tire. This wheel tray bolts to your bike rack and it'll hold the front tire in place when you're transporting your bike. Now, the wheel strap that goes around here that holds your tire in place and the hardware to install this tray is not included. We do sell that separately on our website.
And those parts are listed on this product page as a related product. But that should do it for the review on this replacement fat tire front wheel tray for the Thule T1 or T2 Classic platform bike racks..

This did not come with the screws so make sure you have a set! I was gifted a Thule bike rack and one of the wheel trays was broken and this was exactly what I needed!! Communication was great and it arrived early!! Highly recommend!

Very good, easy fit on our Thule rack. I am using the front wheel tray I removed to upgrade our Fiamma bike rack that goes on our Airstream Trailer. It only has standard V rails and didn't fit my mountain bike. The attach straps were too short to work. I modified the Thule front wheel tray to fit the Fiamma V rail and bolted the Fat Tire Wheel Strap to the existing Fiamma strap for added length. Then I modified the rail to fit the Thule rear wheel tray I removed from the Thule rack. Works great!

It is what I expected. I still have to get the mounting bolts to set them on my existing bicycle carrier. Still have to test how good it is going to hold up since it will be carrying a 2wd 20" fat tire mountain ebike(approx. 65#). I'm happy with the product and recommend it 100% !

Fit Perfect I can use it on my fat bike and road bike. Was cheaper buying individual replacements then the fat tire kit that came with both pieces.

Good but doesn't interface with my plus tires as well as the original size. Fine for the skinny tires though, and nice to have an option for a future fattie

Great to have this now for my Fattie and 27.5 plus. Nice they made it available for older racks so I didn't need to buy a new rack. etrailer web site was very easy to navigate, much better than the Thule site.

A great replacement for the stock tray that maxed out at a 2.3. This tray still accommodates the smaller wheel sizes as well as the newer fat tires.

- Replacement Wheel Trays For An Older Thule T2 Bike Rack 916XTRHi Susan! While I do have an option that will work for you, the original rear trays for the Thule T2 916XTR are no longer available, unfortunately. You may be able to find some out there, but with the rack being discontinued in 2016, it won't be easy. The part number for them was 753-3582. The better option would be to go with # 7521568001. These are technically fat bike trays, but there is absolutely no reason they can't be used with a more standard size tire. Plus they fit perfectly!...

view full answer... - Part to Secure Bike Rear Wheel When Transported on Fork-Mount Carrier Like RKY1097It sounds like you are using a fork-mount bike carrier like the RockyMounts LoBall # RKY1097 and you want a method to secure the rear tire at the same time. We do not have any such item but you have certainly pointed to a need in the market! One idea I can offer is to use a replacement wheel holder from another bike carrier, such as # 8523598001, # HRSPRWHR-F-HD or # 7521682001. Naturally you would have to use some of your own ingenuity for the installation. All such items are displayed...

The rack uses a # 8523598001 tray for the bike front wheel and a # 7521568001 wheel holder for the rear bike wheel. I'm not sure which you needed, so I provided both part numbers. The wheel holder includes the strap. The tray and holder will accommodate either fat bikes or bikes with regular width tires.
