What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna checking out the replacement down tube cradle on our Saris Freedom bike rack. The replacement cradle is gonna be the exact same as the cradle that you already have, so if you broke one, you don't have to worry about it being any different or standing out. You're gonna get the new hand knob for it too so all the parts come with it so they're gonna be able to slide it up and down. It's gonna be pretty easy to install too. Just check out how I did it and follow along.

To replace our down tube cradle, we're gonna have to remove the bolts here on the center mast and remove it from the bike rack. That way we can pry this section apart just a little bit, not too much to break it and slide it up here on the mast. So you can see with the bolt removed there is a little play in there. So I suggest putting one side on the bottom and kind of prying up. Now you're gonna have to get over this portion here, you can do one side at a time.

So just kind of pull up, it'll start to slide over, like that and then just keep pushing it on. There we go. Now we're past that part and we've got it on the tube. Now we're gonna set center mast back in place. The panel will click in.

Now it's not gonna hold it there but that's just gonna help me keep it steady so I can replace the bolt. Now last thing we're gonna do, put our nut in this end and then add our hand knob. I'm gonna hold that in with my thumb as I turn my hand knob to tighten it down. Well, that about does it. It was really easy to install that, you just had to do a little disassembly but it's really nice that you can replace that cradle and not have to get a whole new bike rack if that part breaks.

Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped..
