Bike Rack Cradle Recommendation to Fit Bike Rack with 1 inch Diameter Arms

Question:

Hi- Ive been searching hi and low for the correct cradle set for my 20 yr old bighorn and think Ive stumbled apon an answer that your tech support has encountered Previously. I see someone else had a Yakima bighorn like mine with the 1inch diameter tubes. When I call Yakima tech support they tell me to use Y8780023 but this mounts on 1-1/4inch tubes so their help was useless. I see your tech suggested a Thule t3 cradle 853-5829 that would fit. Question for you is that a set or just one cradle seeing Ill need one for each of the two tubes? I also see that Yakima has two styles of cradles in the 8780023 to keep the bike from moving would this be the for Thule 853-5829?

The Thule T3 Cradle part # 853-5829 that you referenced is designed to fit 1 inch diameter cradle arms like what your bike rack has so it would work well on your bike rack even though it was not designed for it originally.

These are sold individually. For straps you would need the part # 753-3535.
