United StatesProduct works fine, much better than original straps. However, there are no instructions (it would be helpful to at least tell what tools are needed, and simple instructions would also be useful). And the cradles are too wide to accommodate the end caps, which have to be shaved down to fit them back on. That is TOTALLY unacceptable. In general, Allen needs to upgrade ALL of its instructions. I needed to go to Utube to install the rack when I bought it.
United StatesJust trim up to fit . Buy the one already with these.
CanadaThese cradles are excellent. My bike rack came with velcro tie downs and I had to stop several times per trip to resecure my bikes. These tie down cradles are amazing. They hold the bikes securely with a very simple mechanism. I did have to add a couple pipe clamps on either side of the cradles to keep them from sliding on the tubing, but that's likely because I was using these cradles on a different rack than they were designed for. Thanks for making such a great product.
United StatesWe replaced the webbing tie down’s with these! Worked great and so much better.
United StatesI used the Allen straps to upgrade my Allen Deluxe 2 bike rack. They are a great improvement over the standard straps, overall I am very pleased with the quality of all Allen products, although sometimes difficult to find in stock.
