Longer Replacement Arm For Thule 515-5190 Bike Rack

Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/03/2024

Question:

I have a Thule 515-5190 2 bike carrier rack. The arms to hold the bikes are just a bit too short for my 29 bikes. Do you have a longer hook or another solution?

Hey Jeff! You can use the Replacement Locking Ratchet Arm Assembly item # 753-3579, you were looking at, to replace the arm on your 515-5190. It does have the length to handle 29" wheels.

Hey Jeff, how did the replacement ratchet arm work out with your Thule bike rack? It sounds like it should give you the extra reach for your 29-inch bikes. Sharing how it fit could help others with the same setup.
