Recommendations for Replacement Thule Frame Cradles
Question:
I have a Thule hitch bike rack and a strap on one of the cradles broke. The strap and cradle are one piece. I cant find anything similar in ur catalog of replacement cradles. Can u recommend one that is compatible? I can send a photo via email.

I attached a link to the right that shows all of the Thule frame cradles we offer. Without knowing what yours looks like or what rack it came off of it would be hard for me to recommend you the exact same one. Especially since it looks like none of the ones we carry have the cradle and strap as one piece.
The # 853-7887 is designed to fit a 1 inch diameter tube. If the arms of your rack are 1 inch in diameter this cradle would work, and then for a strap use # 852-3006-001. For a anti-sway cradle you would want the part # 853-7758.
If you have a 1-1/4 inch diameter arm on your rack you could get the part # 852-3005-002. You could use the # 853-5834 for a strap and a # 852-2903-001 for an anti-sway cradle.
