I spoke with my contact at Thule regarding your Free Ride Roof Bike Rack. She stated that this is a European only model bike rack so it and direct replacement parts for it aren't available in the US. With that being said, she did say that the cradles for this rack are very similar to the older US Thule Criterium bike rack. The replacement ratcheting wheel strap for the Criterium is the part # 853-6512, which does look identical to the one used on your Free Ride based on the pictures I was able to find.

Unfortunately I can't guarantee that this will work simply because they have not been tested together, but there is a good chance that it is what you need.
