Question:

Hi, I am looking for long zipp strips for a Yakima Fullswing bike rack. The strips do not fit the larger top tubes of our bikes. Is such a product available? Thank you

If your Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 was manufactured from 2016 to 2019 then you have the ZipStrip Straps 8880566 and you can upgrade to the ZipStrip Straps # Y55XR which has 5 more teeth than the straps that came on the previous units so it'll be about 5/8" longer (see attached photo).

If this is the same size that you currently have then you'll need to go with an Adapter Bar # Y02531 instead. This gives you a standard-sized top tube that will fit with your current ZipStrips.
