Thule WS2 Wheel Strap Review

Had to send them back the first time due to missing the road wheel spacers. They were returned at a discount through AWD. Otherwise they fit and work better than the older design harnesses.

Put them on my 594XT Sidearm roof racks and they work great. The rubber shock absorbers for the wheels allow the bike to move too much so I removed them and used a bare strap on the wheels to get a very solid result.

Fits my old 2010 517 racks. Including 2 straps and 2 rim adapters. as long as there is no bike. The trunk came with the car with no straps so I have no idea how they compare to the originals.

This wheel strap was the best. Despite the ride on the roof with a rather cold headwind, the wheels seemed to enjoy their comfort and did not raise any complaints. I highly recommend this product if you are forced to ride your bike outside of the showroom. You and the wheel will enjoy a much more rewarding relationship!

I believe these straps provide additional security. They are very firmly attached to my wheels. I worry a little less since I carry my bike in a roof rack and I have these straps to give me extra confidence. Transporting bicycles on a roof rack.

This strap was purchased to replace a missing Thule 594XT strap. It's not exactly a "replacement" as the strap is too short for modern MTB rims. I use a Weareone Agent rim but I need to remove the protective film that comes with this strap so the strap is long enough to hold the wheel. Also, the alligator clip doesn't hold the band well. It appears to be very old inventory and the crocodile clip spring may already be permanently stressed. If this review had zero stars I would give this purchase
