IMPRESA 4 Pack Replacement Rubber Strap for Bike Rack Cradle Compatible with Thule 534 - Bike Rack Strap Replacement - Bicycle Accessories - Bike Wheel Strap - Bike Holder

This is a great replacement. I thought it was too flimsy at first, but the straps do the job well. I go mountain biking a lot and usually carry 3/4 bikes per trip. Easy to install and easy to use.

I took a chance on these straps as my originals finally gave out. The feel almost as good as the originals, I had them on my bike rack for over 3 weeks now exposed to rain and sun and still feel strong and new. The price was right and the quantity even better. They fit tight on my bike rack and hold the bike securely. Im very happy with this purchase and always give my honest reviews on amazon items since I see alot of “made up reviews”…

Much flimsier than what they replaced, but they fit OK. Will write another review when they give out. The originals on the bike rack lasted about 8 years, in the sun and elements. Hopefully these ones will last half that long.

I’ve got a Critical bike rack. I was concerned whether these were going to fit, but they work fine. After a couple of years the rubber starts to dry rot and break. These were a great replacement for the originals.

Sadly this is not a joke.Installed it on my bike rack and instantly I thought that this strap is way more flexible and easier to work with than the original strap. I wished I just stopped for a second in my excitement to leave on a biking trip, but I assumed it was part of the feature.15 minutes later I was on the freeway to go on my vacation trip. At 70mph, the bike strap snapped and my bike became a meal for the freeway, watching it bounce and bash its way till it stopped. Thank god it didn't hit any other cars as that would make it more of a nightmare situation.Needless to say, my bike is a goner even after I recovered it. I put it back on the rack, managed to strap it back with the next hold up.... 15 minutes later... it snapped AGAIN! I put it back on the bike rack, and tied everything down with rope (yay camping supplies).If you love your bike, don't buy this. Buy OEM. It's not worth it to go this cheap.Painful lesson learned. I hope someone else can avoid my fate.

And I like 'em. They're stretchy and appear to be sturdy.I used 2 per hitch in a criss-cross pattern X across the top tube.I never did like the thick, corrugated, hard to stretch onesthat came with the rack.The original style strap with reinforcement circles around each holeare just too expensive, 4 for $30 is too much.I just ordered 4 more for backup, but I think that by using 4 strapsacross the top tube will give added protection against breakage.

Don't over pull or will break. Pull to just snug enough loop and you'll be fine. Haven't had any problems since my first try. Learned the hard way. Great for the price.

Not as heavy duty as the original
