Solution for Carrying Bike with Thicker Top Tube with Hanging Bike Rack

Question:

Only numbers on my Yakima rack are: 5093 8002424. Its a 4 bike rack rack set up for 2 bikes. My new bike has a wider top tube and I am hoping the newer anti sway cradle will work on my rack. The existing cradles are a tight fit with the new bike. The support arm is very close to 1 5/16inch in diameter, maybe just a little smaller 1 9/16. Existing rack uses rubber chaininch straps about 10inch long. What do you think?

I have a solution for you but we don't have a wider frame cradle you could use and instead you'd want the part # UB01 which is a bike frame adapter bar that you'd attach to the seat post and steering stem of your bike to give it a horizontal tube that is smaller for your bike rack to attach to.
