Replacement Cradle For Thule Vertex 9031XT Swing-Away Bike Rack
Question:
Will the T2 cradles work on this rack ? 853-5829 Thule 9031XT Vertex Swing Away 4 Hitch Mount Bike Carrier
asked by: Rick G
Expert Reply:
We have the correct cradles for the Thule Vertex 9031XT bike rack, but the opening of the T2 cradles is only 1 inch diameter, which is too small to fit on the Vertex. Instead, the correct replacement cradles are the following:
- Replacement Hold Fast Cradle for Thule Vertex Bike Racks # 852-3005-002
These have an opening of 1-1/4 inch diameter, and I verified with Thule these are the correct cradles. If you also need replacement straps, the correct part is the Replacement Strap for Cradles on Thule Bike Racks # 852-3006-001.
