Thule T3 Cradle # 853-5829 and Strap # 753-3535 Recommendation for a Thule Expressway 996 Rack  

Published 07/19/2011



Question:

Can I use the Thule T3 Cradle body 853-5829 and Strap 753-3535 to replace the cradle and strap combination on the Thule 996 Expressway bike rack?

Expert Reply:

I spoke with my contact at Thule and she informed me that you could use the Replacement T3 Cradle # 853-5829 as replacement cradles on your Thule 996 Expressway bike rack.

For a strap you would want a Replacement Rubber Strap # 753-3535.
