What is the diameter of the crossbar? I'm thinking to use a wraparound truss clamp to hang some equipments.

I think it's 1 inch. I have it at the studio and can measure it in the next day or two.

I have to go pull it out to measure, but if I miss my guess it is around an inch maybe inch and half max.

It is exactly 1 1/8" in diameter. Each of the five crossbar sections are 3' long.

Yes the measurement is the clamping capacity. But my suggestion to you is find a regular bar clamp, these are really cheaply made. I've ordered some and they arrived broken.

Hey Tom: I'm not sure personally that I would trust clamps to hold this on, especially if you are hauling a canoe or kayak(s), which could catch a lot of wind and create significant shearing force that could destabilize the rack and cause it to slide off. I'm not physics major or engineer, but that's my two cents.

The "U" shaped brackets were smaller than what I was trying to do... I wanted to mount it on my mountain bike. The "hose clamp" style worked great, and has a pretty long size range. Sorry I don't have an actual measurement.

I can not answer for those bars exactly, but can tell you I have an xterra and the bars are very large and it fits. The clamp is very flexible and could fit many different bars.

I have three of them for my pontoon boat which has 1" wide rails. The clamp at it's maximum opening is 1 3/4" inch. Hope that helps.

Found a description on another size that says the clamps accommodate up to a 3" tower?

Hi Megan, depending on the width of your bike's pedals and the length of your crossbars, you most likely will not be able to make this happen. The only way this could work is if you had a Thule square bar system, with the longer square bars so you would be able to space your accessories accordingly. We offer 58 inch, 65 inch and 78 inch crossbars for the Thule square bar system. Please visit the "buyer's guide" on www.thule.com for more info. Thanks!

The opening on these is tubular to work with Yakima bars. I don't think they would hold well on square crossbars.

That depends on the diameter of your bar clamp: I'd recommend buying spacers. (this handlebar is thinner/intended for motorcycles)

There is a hold-down bar that allows stock up to 4.5" wide. However, this piece can be removed and stock clamped down allowing up to 6.5" of workable surfaces. You would have to devise sides from 2X6's or equivalent with your clamps but should not be difficult.

Hi sticky ricardo, I looked at my framed picture and measured 5" for your project.It will work. You'll have 1" between the clips on the narrow side....I like this system and it will work for small things also.The trick is to string it tight, to not let the string have any give.Sincerely your handy craft fellow

I highly doubt it, my Rhino has 1 3/4" bars. The clamps fit very well. There is a rubber grip in the clamp you might be able to leave out. But I don't know if it would give you a 1/4 of an inch.

Absolutely. The clamp itself is square (made of two right angles) and I think the screws are long enough to accept up to 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". Mine is a 1/2" square pole and it clamps all the way down, so you can't really go thinner than that unless you use shims and thats probably not a good idea, anyway. Actually It will work on any shape up to (and maybe even a bit over) 1" in diameter as the clamps are self-centering.

Well, in answer to your question, I just measured it at the lowest setting. And, on top, from the outside of one cross-bar to the outside of the other, it is 31.5" So if you feel comfortable with just a 1/4" overhang on each side, then it will work. The cross-bars do have soft, rubber sleeves on them, so there is a nice non-slip surface. I hope that helps in your decision.

A "C" clamp could if it can open at least 3 inches. I think the bar is 2.5" wide and 1.5" thick. I use the stand to mount two seperate led lights and I mount a c clamp each per side. The stand is built very well, money well spent, I bought 2.

I just looked at it again. There is a thin metal bar that goes between the cross bars and the knobs, I guess this is thin enough to conform to the round cross bars, but I just don't know how well it would hold.
