Will the Yakima Cradle Set # Y8890158 Fit on a Little Joe Bike Rack and How Many Cradles in Package

Question:

I am looking for anti sway cradles for Super Joe 2. I actually have a little joe but it looks like tube diameters are the same so will Y8890158 come with 2 cradles or just 1?

The Yakima Replacement Cradle, # Y8890158, comes with a set of cradles for 1 bike. You get two cradles, one with the anti sway cradle and one cradle without the anti sway bracket. To use these cradles you would need two packages of the Replacement Rubber Straps, # 8890221, because the anti sway would use a rubber strap as well.

I went out to the warehouse and pulled one of the two remaining LittleJoe bike racks that we have, this rack is being discontinued, and a cradle set and found that you would be disjointed if you tried to use the Replacement Cradle on this rack. The rubberized coating on the arms makes the diameter of the arms to large and the bend at the end of the arms will not allow the cradle to slide onto the arm past the bend if the rubberized coating were removed. The SuperJoe Rack, Y02614, has arms that are straight all of the way out to the end.
