Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the Replacement Cradle Strap for Thule Parkway Bike Racks

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Replacement Cradle Strap for the Thule Parkway Bike Racks. If you're needing to replace a cradle strap for your Thule Parkway bike rack, then this just might be the strap that you need. Specifically, this is going to work with the Parkway bike racks with the item numbers that you see on the screen. And then let me pull out my ruler here and just give you some overall measurements.

The overall length of this strap, we are sitting right at 5 1/8 inches long, and then the measurement of the adjustment hole width, and not the inside width of the hole but the actual outside width of the hole, we are sitting right at about 5/8 of an inch. Now, this does include one cradle strap. And because this is the replacement from Thule, you can have the confidence that this is going to work with your Parkway bike racks. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you.

Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Lasted a year without intense use.
Now looking for replacements. The original set last many years.

Looks good, fast shipping, highly recommended!

I was looking everywhere for these Bike straps for our Thule Bike Rack.
They are not available from the Mfg. But found them at trailer.com
They fit perfect, and are exactly like the originals ones.
Great customer service and quick delivery.

Great service and product

by: Marian M 04/13/2017

We were grateful to find the cradle straps for our old Thule bike rack (since Thule doesn't sell the replacement straps anymore). After searching the internet we found that etrailer sells them. After looking at reviews we were hesitant to order them. We called and ordered them on the phone and everything went perfectly. We needed the straps quickly to transport our bikes for a triathlon and paid extra for quicker shipping. They arrived yesterday and they are exactly what we needed.
The staff were good to work with on the phone and very professional

I lost two more of the straps in the last year. Super stoked that I had bought the replacement strap and a spare.

@Dante Glad that you had a spare!

Someone took my Thule Bike Rack straps and thankfully, these are just right, same as the originals. Received right away so we could get back on the road while the weather is still nice. Well done eTrailer.com!

by: maureen 09/18/2017

The product is pretty straightforward. It is a replacement for the exact straps I have on the auto bike rack. They work well, which is why I wanted the exact same item as a replacement. What was really terrific was the price and the ease of delivery. I am so glad I did not have to pay an arm and a leg just to have 2 of these items shipped. Thank you, etrailer!

No questions at all. I really appreciate that you sold me just those parts, and did not gauge me on shipping and handling. Should I need anything that you might sell, I will surely want to give you my business.

Tried buying these at local bike shops and on[line] but they either weren’t available or more expensive. One bike shop tried to sell me the wrong straps. etrailer came through and I’ve purchased replacement straps several times to keep them on hand. Fair price, good service. Recently ordered replacement straps for my Swagman bike rack yoo

Everything was as described and arrived as promised. etrailer did a great job communicating.

I don't think these bike hold downs are as good as the originals. I was driving down the road when I looked in my mirror to notice the bike tied down, was swinging in the wind. I pulled over immediately and found one strap holding and the other came off the peg. I know I made sure both straps were in the proper place when I left with the bike attached. I guess I got Really Lucky I didn't lose my bike to the highway.

etrailer always seems to have what I need at a fair price. Customer service is great.

Thank you Crystal for the help with my bike rack straps. Etrailer is the best! My local bike stor wanted $50 for the straps that etrailer sent me for $12!!! We are just getting started riding bikes and did not want to break the bank doing it. The used bike rack was only $40 the thought of spending $50 for straps just to use it floored me. I will be back to buy from trailer for any trailer or hitch need in the future. We are retiring so a camp trailer with our bikes on back is on the wish list we buy used so etrailer can make having fun aforadable.

by: Patrick 02/18/2022

There straps for my Thule 4 position Parkway Bike Rack, are in my opinion one of the best systems to secure my bike for transport. eTrailer Customer service did an outstanding job of support my order. This item was Out of Stock 6 months ago, so I called directly instead of using the web. site, spoke to Paula and the rest of the Order process with flawless! I have dealt with eTrailer four times in the last 10 years, inclduing Hitches, Equipment, etc. and every time the experience has been very satisfactory. This company is a "Class Act" in their field.

Thank you for excellent fast delivery and customer service.

by: Theo 03/11/2022 One Year Later

My original straps that came with the bike rack broke and I did not want to throw away the rack since it was not cheap. etrailer.com's replacement parts did the trick and added life to my bike rack that was unusable.

Thank you etrailer.

Recommended Replacement Strap For Curt Premium Bike Carrier
Curt does not offer the straps for the bike rack but I do have a solution for you. I recommend the Replacement Strap, part # 853-2569. This strap measures 9-3/8 inches long and the holes measure 1 inch center to center. The only difference I could see was that the Curt strap has 9 holes in it and the # 853-2569 strap has 8, but it will work great on your bike rack.
