Will a Yakima HighRoller Bike Rack Fit Thule AeroBlade Bars without Using MightyMounts
Question:
I have Thule Aeroblade bars and am considering using this bike rack. I have seen your other responses about using Mighty Mounts, but is there a way to utilize the T-track in the top of the Thule Aeroblade bars and omit the bulky, wrap-around MightyMounts? Thule has an XAdapt12 kit with threaded lugs and a nut. Could that be used to attach this rack?

There isn't a kit to use the Yakima HighRoller # Y02107 in the mounting slots on Thule AeroBlade crossbars. The Xadapt12 kit will work with the Thule bars but is not a confirmed fit for the bike rack.
You might consider the FrontLoader # Y02103 which is also a wheel mount bike rack but the mounting feet will fit around the AeroBlade bars without the need of any adapters.
Or, for a frame mount bike rack that will fit the Thule AeroBlade channels you can use the ProRide, # TH598003. I have linked videos of the FrontLoader and ProRide bike racks for you.
