Expert Reply:

For the Rhode Gear Super Shuttle you can use the replacement cradle, # RG8890084. These are sold in quantities of one. To replace all of the cradles on a 2 bike rack, you would need 4 cradles.

The Super Shuttle has a capacity of 90 pounds. If the beach cruiser has a womens or alternative frame, you will need to use an adapter bar, # Y02531, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bike level. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works. Once the bike is mounted properly, the rack will work well for you.

The other cradles you mentioned are for the trailer hitch mount Rhode Gear racks.
