Question:
Hello, I have a Thule T1 and need a longer ratchet strap so my larger 29er can fit. currently I only get one click on the current strap. Is there an upgraded strap?

Expert Reply:
Unfortunately for your Thule T1 bike rack, the only strap that is offered is the Replacement Fat Tire Wheel Strap for Thule T2 Classic Platform Bike Racks # 8527642001 which is the same strap you've already got.
Since the only strap offered is not long enough for your 29" bike wheels, and the T1 has been discontinued, it might be worthwhile looking into an upgrade.
If you're open to suggestions the Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4025F would be a great choice. This rack is very similar style-wise to the T1 and it'll easily fit your 29" tires. This rack can also carry up to 2 bikes that weigh 60 lbs each, so you'll have plenty of carrying capacity as well.
