## Questions & Answers

**Q: So I've read that it's 62" or 72" long, but how wide is the strap?**
A: It's about 1 - 1.5 inches wide

**Q: Are the hook and the buckle made of metal or plastic?**
A: The hardware is metal with a chrome finish.  The hook is covered with a soft plastic.  I found that the plastic cracked after a couple of years, but it was easily replaceable with some electrical tape to protect the paint where it hooks on the edge of the trunk of your car.

**Q: swagman Chinook -- where should I attach the straps to the chinook rack? Will the straps put undue pressure on the arms or the upright post?**
A: Probably better to ask Swagman but the purpose of the strap is to relieve loads on the hitch.  That means it's also relieving loads on the bike rack.  I'm sure it is possible to put so much load on the top of the post that you bend it, but with normal tension, a beam supported at both ends has much lower stress than one cantilevered at one end.  So if anything it should result in less stress on your bike rack, especially if they're bouncing around back there.

**Q: can this be used to replace an original strap where the metal hook is that is rusted?**
A: I would guess yes.  It’s a two piece strap, so one end has a hook and the other has none to thread through the other strap.  I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***Y on 11 April 2022*

I purchased the CURT 18050 61-Inch Bike Rack Support Strap as added piece of mind on a 1,000 mile (one way) trip carrying 5 mountain bikes on our new Allen Sports 5 Bike Hitch Mount Rack. This was used on a 2015 Yukon XL (aka Chevy Suburban). Since the spoiler is plastic on this vehicle, I popped the rear glass and fed the metal strap hook through the top of the glass. I slid the hook in from the left side onto the edge of the sheet metal for the lift gate. I slid the hook to the center of the lift gate so the strap went over the center support for the rear wiper. The strap itself was easy to install. Just make sure you feed it through the teeth the correct way, and lift the bike rack a little as you tighten the strap to properly support the top of your bike rack. We drove over 2,000 miles in this configuration and the strap performed well and didn't loosen up, even with the slight wobble of the bike rack from the tilt features. Our vehicle set-up is a bit tricky, but I just made sure not to use the rear wiper since the strap was running over the top of the support.
