Set of 4 Rubber Straps for Thule 534 Bike Rack Cradle - Replacement Accessories for Enhanced Performance Review

My father in law gave us his old bike rack when we were upgrading. The straps needed replacing and we couldn't find the exact brand we wanted so we took a chance. They worked great! They have very thick rubber but they're still pretty resilient and I'm less concerned about holding our expensive bikes on the rack knowing they're so strong.

DO NOT BUY! Yes, they were easy to install and easy to use. But that's not their job. Your job is to keep the bike safe. When I first used these straps, they both broke while driving on a busy freeway. My bike bounced off the rear rack of my car, fell onto the freeway and miraculously went over the guardrail without hitting the car or causing an accident. It could have been a lot worse.

I bought these because I lost a set of the original rubber straps that came with my Thule bike carrier. I quickly found that these bands are thinner, more elastic and much easier to work with than the original bands. They might not last as long as the originals in the long run (who knows?), but they seem sturdy and tough enough for long-term use, so the likelihood of them wearing out faster is more than offset by their simplicity. use.

I was looking for replacement straps for an old Yakima bike rack that had 3/4 inch strap attachment lugs. Although the Impressa straps have smaller holes, they stretch easily and conform to the wearer. The belts feel sturdy and offer really good value compared to OEM replacements. I've just started using them so I can't comment on their durability. So far I am very satisfied with the purchase and can only recommend it!

It's not often that you buy a product to replace a damaged or broken original and are pleasantly surprised to find that a replacement product is better than the original. I bought these 4 replacement Impreza straps for my Rhode Gear bike mount. According to the product description, it is a Thule bike carrier. He helpfully provided all the sizes of the straps so I could determine if they fit my straps very snugly. When they arrived and I put them on they were perfect. The material is silicone…

Original strap. I wish I could pause for a second in my excitement at going on a bike ride, but I assumed it was part of the feature. In 15 minutes I was already on the Autobahn to go on vacation. At 70 mph the bike's belt broke and my bike became highway fodder, I watched it bounce and wriggle until it stopped. Thank God it didn't hit another car because that would have made the situation even worse. Of course, my bike was also missing after the restoration. I put it back on the stand, managed
