I spoke with my contact at RockyMounts and if you already have the Thule WingBars like # TH711220, he recommended using the TieRod Replacement Hardware (front) # RKY2220 and (rear) # RKY2230 on your existing PitchFork arm to allow you to mount your PitchFork onto the more aerodynamic bars-this won't use the T-Slots and will instead wrap around the bars, but will still allow you to use your existing bars. Unfortunately none of the RockyMounts racks work in the T-Slots of Thule WingBars because the bolts aren't long enough and longer bolts would not be possible because of the depth of the Wingbars.

If you haven't already purchased Thule Wingbars, you can go with the Thule Aeroblade # TH7503 , which will allow you to use the Replacement Fork Block # RKY2260 and Rear Mounting Kit # RKY2257 in T-Slotted bars of the Aeroblade.
