Once the bars are on, will a standard Thule ski rack fit on the rails?

It is a pretty standard rail--Thule kayak rack fits well. Don't have a ski rack.

This rack will attach to any square cross bars (standard - 1 inch by inch or less). I had to buy the adapter kit because I have aerocross bars from Thule that are oblong.

Good day, this carrier is designed to fit all Thule and most aftermarket roof rack systems and crossbars. If the crossbar dimensions do not vary too much from any of the Thule bars, then this should fit without any issue. Thank you and have a great day!

if your rack rails look like those it should be no problem.They are pretty universal, but I'm just guessing.

The kit worked fine with my Thule bars. I thought the same thing, and was pleasantly surprised when I put it together and it worked. I kept the saddles on the bars and just removed the bars before winter. The u bolts and the plastic caps for the saddles with locks were very tight fitting the first time and it took a little bar-soap as lubricant to make things slide together. Also, you have to squeeze the u-bolts open ends together to fit thru the holes in the saddles. I used a pair of Stanley Zip Clamps gently to assist in making it all work. After the first time, it all worked fine.

Lanae,My bars are 2-3/4" wide. You should have no problem with the Thule mounts

If the rack accepts a standard size receiver pin then this would work, but it depends on the Thule rack, and if it is a newer rack then it is unlikely that it will work. Most Thule racks either have the "Snug-Tite" system or they use a bolt for securing them in place. You will need to determine exactly which Thule rack you have in order to determine if this will work for you.

Yes, but make sure to tighten the side hex bolts before you tighten the top bolts on the crossbars. This makes it easier to get them centered. It will also ensure a more snug fit on the rails.

Hi Oldsquid,Thule does not have round bars, those would most likely Yakima Cross Bars. This product can be mounted on those bars. Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I couldn't say for sure, but looking at the chain stays, I suspect not. The nylon straps that ratchet up on the stays are reasonably long but some of the stays on these folding bikes are large rectangular sections and the thule clamps are round in profile. It would be one of the few bikes that they wouldn't fit. Great racks though.

If they are designed to fit a square bar, they should fit on this. My understanding is that this is Thule's thrift brand, so I expect that many of their accessories would fit.

i cannot answer the Freestar Van question, but I can say the only Thule accessory that I have that fits on this rack is my roof box. All my Thule accessories were bought for standard bars, not the wider whisper bars. On the Thule site they picture the Thule 810 SUP Taxi Rack with standard bars...if that is the case for all such racks, then no it will not fit.

Honestly I am not entirely sure, it is retangular in shape, if you think that the Thule rack can adapt that, then you'll be ok!

Yes, just make sure to loosen up the screw so you don't damage the plastic lining on the square crossbar. I would recommend you wrap the bar with black tape under the stacker to protect the plastic cover on the Thule crossbar.

Carlie, you know, I'm not sure. I had to return mine as they didn't fit what I found out where Thule bars on my Soul. If I were you, I'd order them. Go to a Roof Rack place and see what bars they fit on, then return them if they don't. I know it's a hassle--but a good process of elimination. And besides, if you're protecting (like I was ) well over 6-digits in bicycles, I didn't want to chance them not fitting well.

Hi Billy, you will need to take the factory crossbar weight limit and size into account here. the Hullaport requires at least 17 inches of space on the bar and you will need an additional few inches for the straps and to maneuver them around the boats. It may be beneficial to look at a Thule roof rack system in this case. Please check out the "Buyer's Guide" on www.thule.com.Thanks!
