Hi Mike, I know exactly what you’re looking for, and I get why you want to make sure you get the right part so your HoldUp stays usable.

We don’t currently carry the gray 888-0127 spline anymore, but the replacement spine part # 8890277 is the same part functionally, just in black instead of gray. It will fit your older HoldUp and work with your existing trays and hardware, so you won’t need to replace the whole rack.

I know the color difference isn’t ideal, but from a fit and performance standpoint it’s the correct replacement.

What bikes are you planning to carry on this setup, mountain, road, or e-bikes?

Ok thank you. I have had this rack for over 20 years and it is having a few other issues. Yakima used to support no questions asked but have been less cooperative with such an old rack. I am carrying one EBike, 2 mountain bikes and a 3spd townie that is 40lbs. Rack is probably over capacity and it is probably time for an upgrade. My buddies have mountain bikes with 29 inch wheels and this rack can't handle them either. Thanks for the information. I'll decide something. I hate trashing stuff that still works. Mike

@MichaelM Hey Michael, I hear you on that. It’s tough to replace something that’s been solid for that long, especially when it’s still mostly doing the job. Those older racks were built really well, but once you start getting into heavier bikes like e-bikes and larger wheel sizes, it does start to push them past what they were originally designed for. With the mix you’ve got now, especially the e-bike and 29ers, you’re right that you’re likely over the intended capacity, and that’s where things can start to feel less stable or wear out faster. At that point it’s less about the rack failing all at once and more about it just not being a great fit for what you’re carrying anymore. If you do decide to upgrade, there are some really nice options now that handle heavier bikes and larger wheel sizes without any hassle, and they’re a lot easier to load too. If you want, I can help you find something that fits your setup so you’re not overbuying but still getting something that’ll last you another long stretch. Are you typically carrying all four bikes at once or rotating depending on the trip?

@HeatherA It looks like this would not work as a replacement for the older gray rack as the trays mount differently to the spline ... OR is there some sort of adapter that is also included. The old trays have two bolts that mount to the spline vertically. These trays are mounted with a horizontal bolt. Thanks Mike
