Question:

Hello. Im looking for a replacement of the lower front wheel tray for a Saris Thelma rack. This part is for the rear wheel. Do you carry the lower tray for the front whee? Thanks

For your application we will need to go with a different bike rack as the Saris Thelma was discontinued and there are no longer replacement wheels trays for the front like what you're needing - I confirmed this with my contact at Saris.

To replace your bike rack I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR which fits 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers plus it has the same basic U-Shaped frame like what you have with your Thelma rack. Kuat is known for making really solid bike racks that do a great job at meeting comfort when it comes to in-use experience as well as good looks when it comes to the design of the racks and the Transfer V2 is no exception.
