I Need to Replace the Top Hold-Downs on My Bones Rack. Why Won’t the Replacement Rack Straps on the Accessory Page Work?

    I have a new saris bones 2. One of the straps is not connected to the bike rack frame. Can I do this manually or should the rack have come fitted with it.

    I find it crazy that these top straps aren't replaceable.  I guess my only option is to buy a replacement arm?  I bought a Bones 2 used, and while it was pointed out there was one broken strap, I never would have thought it can't be easily replaced.  That's a pretty bad design.  There had to have been an alternative to locking those straps in when injection molding the arms.  I'm thinking a couple sturdy rubberized straps crisscrossed may work.

    I love my bones2, but designing the top straps so that they can’t be replaced is simply a rip-off. I can’t believe you would deliberately screw customers that way. Mine are shot and need replaced. Guess I’ll just look for a different brand. Damned if I’m gonna let you screw me twice.
