Will Thule Rapid Podium Feet Work with Wingbar Evo Bars

Question:

I was looking to swap aeroblade for wingbar. Will the wingbar fit on the rapid podium 460r bases? Was hoping to increase load capacity to 220 lbs. from aero 160lbs. Thanks

Yes the Wingbar Evo crossbars do fit on the Rapid Podium feet part # TH460R. The issue would be that these feet are limited to a capacity of 165 lbs so while the bars might have a higher capacity you'd still be limited to the capacity of the feet since you are only as strong as your weakest component.

Also worth nothing is that the Evo Clamp Feet part # TH710501 are also limited to 165 lbs.
