Replace a damaged, missing, or worn out cradle for your Swagman XP model bike racks.by: Clayton 11/29/2023
The folks at Etrailer were absolutely fantastic. Some of the parts I purchased were back ordered because of the global supply chain issues at the time, they asked me if I wanted a partial order now and the rest later or to wait and ship it all at once to save money on shipping. Since it was winter at the time I had no issue waiting. When the parts arrived they were all over it and sent them out right away.
A year later and my bike rack is still in great shape and working perfectly after a summer of hauling bikes all over Alberta.
I confidently recommend shopping here, good people and good quality items.

Purchased these as replacements for the original Swagman cradles. On the first trip out, I checked on the bikes and saw the twist handle had come completely off. This is so dangerous, as the bike is simply just sitting there on the cradle unsecured. The same thing occurred on the return trip for another newly purchased cradle. I never had this issue with the originals, now I've had it twice within weeks on the new ones. Waste of money.

I ordered 2 of these with locking knobs for axe & shovel mounts to my bedrack.
They work perfectly! I couldn't be more happier. They come with hardware to be mounted to a round diameter bar. I mounted mine to extruded aluminum rails. Nice and tidy.

The replacement cradle is sturdy and easy to install. The customer service is wonderful. I would recommend this product.

So I used the cradles to fix an older Yakima bike rack. No parts were available for the Yakima so I used the excellent website descriptions and details on etrailer to figure out that I could use these cradles to fix it.
by: MarkM06/23/2015
I ordered two of these to hold a shovel and ax on the outside of my toy hauler. They are heavy duty and should do the job excellently. My only complaint is the optional locking knobs....somehow what should be simple has become complicated; you must keep the key turned in one direction while unscrewing the knob. The mechanism always springs back to being locked. I just want to turn the key one way for locked and the other for unlocked; I may just go back to the standard unlocking knobs if these prove to be a huge pain like my initial experience.

I really appreciate that fact that etrailer goes out of their way to stock parts for older products. I just received replacement cradles and rubber pads for a 29 year old bike rack I have.
by: Big Bad Bob08/14/2017
Used as et of these to build a custom bike rack for my Jeep JK Unlimited by welding 2" steel pipe to the top of my AEV spare tire carrier. Came out amazing.
by: Michael06/18/2021
Really good for replacement on parts I was missing. The only issue is that this different than the older version. Also, the top piece needs to be re-engineered so it does not break when tightening.
by: Paul C.10/30/2015
This item was perfect for us. We bought our bike rack 8 years ago and thought that we would never find this part. Thank you for wonderful service.
by: Dean06/08/2015
Buying the entire assembly made sense to get the parts needed. Now I have spar parts for all the other cradles.
Service was very good and personnel were knowledgable

Replacement parts came within a few days. The parts work great

- Replacement Frame Cradle Recommendation for a Swagman XP Bike RackSince you need the knob and the bolt that it attaches to for your Swagman XP Bike Rack # S64950 you would need to replace the entire cradle with part # 64860 since the T-bolt is not available separately.
view full answer... - Will Swagman Cradles, Part # 64860, Fit a SportRack Bike RackI pulled the Swagman cradle, part # 64860, off the shelf and took it to our show room. It fit just fine on both the SportRack single arm racks we carry. However, I took a set of calipers with me and the outer diameter of the tube was 2 inches. In fact, all our single arm bike racks in the show room were 2 inch OD. I would recommend double checking the measurement of the back rack arm. I have not heard of any single arm bike racks with a 2-1/2 inch OD tube. I imagine it is a 2 inch tube...

view full answer... - Replacment Clamp or Cradle for a Hitch or Spare Tire Bike RackI believe you are looking for a replacement cradle.

- Upgrading a Swagman Twister to a Swagman XP I have a solution for you but I just spoke with my rep at Swagman and the diameter on the Swagman Twister 64850 is too large for the Replacement Cradle for Swagman XP Series Bike Carriers item # 64860 you were looking at. The Swagman Twister is quite a few years old and there are no replacement parts available for it. If you are needing to add room for an extra bike or just wanting to make some upgrades I recommend the Swagman XP - 4 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches item # S64940. This...

The only bike holding replacement pieces we have are the Replacement Straps for Cradles on Curt Standard and Premium Bike Racks - Qty 2 # C18007. Based on your description it sounds more similar to the Swagman Original - 3 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # S64152-2 you are seeking. If so, the Replacement Vinyl Cradle Padding for Swagman Original Series Bike Carriers - 1999 and Newer - Gray # P0023 may work. Another option would...

view full answer... - Cannondale Mountain Bike Frame Tube is Too Large In Diameter to Fit On Swagman XP Bike RackI have a solution that would allow you to carry your Cannondale mountain bike on your Swagman XP bike rack, but it doesn't involve a wider cradle because Swagman doesn't offer one. The Swagman Frame Adapter Bar, part # 64005 would span the distance between the handlebar stem and the seat post, providing an alternate top tube that's smaller in diameter that would fit in the cradle just fine. If you click the provided link, you can see how the bar works.
view full answer... - Replacement U-Bolts for Swagman XP 4-Bike RackReplacement u-bolts are available for your Swagman XP 4-Bike Rack # S64940 though not as parts by themselves. Instead, they come as part of the Replacement Cradle for Swagman XP Series Bike Carriers # 64860, which includes the cradles, u-bolts, and all the hardware necessary for installation.

I think it is possible that the security cable in your photo could be working to loosen the knobs on top of your bike rack. Replacing the standard hand knobs with Locking Knobs # P1040 would prevent the cable from working the knobs loose.
