Usuing a Thule "Wheel Strap" on Yakima bike tray?
I'm a little bit fed up with the new design "rattler" Yakima straps and I've
"upgraded" all my older racks so I don't have any of the old flip style straps, unfortunately. I think they work better with larger mtn tires but not so well with 120psi road tires. At any rate, I notice Thule makes nearly the same design as the one Yakima had, does anyone know if the tab diameter (the part that fits into the tray slot)is close enough that their wheel straps will work well in the Yakima bike trays? Thanks, -pete |

The trays are close enough that it should work IMO, but I use a different tactic altogether. I just strap the wheels down with a pair of old-style toe clip straps. It works perfectly well. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts. |

Thanks, to everyone who responded!
I've ordered a couple of sets of the Thule straps, and am now eyeing their new rack as well... -pete "Leo Lichtman" wrote in message ...

No. Tule after tule grass, the principal grass in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. It is so dangerous because it rises from the ground during still weather. Hence it is thickest at ground level and does not blow away. The ground gets moist and wet, cold air comes in, the mist rises out of the ground, continuously replenishing itself. -- Michael Press |
