Longer Strap with Square Holes for Older Thule Hitch Mount Bike Rack
Question:
I bought 8 of these straps 853-2569 for an older Thule rack with cradles requiring square holed straps Thule rack model # 515-0109. The straps at 5 1/8inch long. Are there longer straps that will fit this cradle? I have a Klein mountain bike with 1 7/8inch diameter aluminum top tube and these straps are too short to work. Thanks for any help.

Expert Reply:
Your best option is going to be strap # 05002200000. it is almost 3 inches longer than strap # 853-2569. The only difficulty you might have is the first time attaching the strap to the cradle. Otherwise the square holes on it are the same size as the ones on # 853-2569. The straps are sold in quantities of 1.
