Replacement Cradle and Strap for 2-Bike Rhode Gear Carrier

Question

Question:

RG8890083 I have a 2-bike trailer mount Rhode Gear. The cradle straps are rubber with square holes. I cant locate the model # but there is a 261880 number on the hitch. Will the cradle with the straps fit my hitch?

We do have replacement cradles and straps available that are designed to fit specific model Rhode Gear Bike Carriers. Since you cannot locate the model of your existing rack, you can also measure the diameter of the arms that the cradles slide onto.

If the arm diameter on your rack is 1 inch, the Replacement Cradle # RG8890084 should work great.

If you measured a slightly larger diameter of 1-3/32 inches, then the Replacement Cradle # RG8890083 will be used instead.
