Replacement Rubber Strap Recommendation for Older Rhode Gear Pro Bike Rack
Question:
My older Rhode Gear pro elite bike rack uses rubber straps that are 10 3/4 inch long and have 13 holes. I bought this rack from a bike shop about 9 years ago and I think it was laying around that shop for several years. It holds 4 bikes and straps to the back of a vehicle with nylon straps. The only straps the bike shop can get now are about 7inch inches long and are almost too heavy to stretch to fit. Can I get original style rubber straps? Ill need a dozen of them.

Thank you for the picture!
From what you described I believe the best replacement option for you is the Thule Replacement Wheel Strap # 853-7803 which measures 11-3/8" overall length and has 1/2" diameter adjustment holes spaced 1" apart on center. The strap won't be an exact replacement because of how old your bike rack is but it is the closest thing I could find for your application.
