How To Mount The Thule Criterium 598 Bike Rack Onto Yakima Jetstream Crossbars
Question:
I have a Thule Criterium 598 and love it. I purchased a 2019 Hyundai Kona EV which cannot be equipped with roof rails and currently, Thule has not solution for, not even a naked roof solution. Sooooo, I purchased Yakima Baseline and jetstream crossbars. I was quite confident and then confirmed that the 598 cannot be secured wrappedinch around the crossbars. But, previous homework indicates that maybe, maybe I can utilize the T-track in the Jetstreams with the 598. Would the Xadapt8 allow me to do so? Thank you for your expertise!

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, you are absolutely right. The Thule Xadapt8 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter # Xadapt8 for your Criterium 598 bike rack is compatible with Yakima Jetstream crossbars with the top track. Luckily, the common roof rack brands all use the same universal T-slot channel which is helping you out in this situation. There have been some accessories that did not fit the common T-slot channel but usually you can file down the T-bolt ever so slightly in order to get the T-bolt to fit the channel; however, that should not be necessary in this case and it should fit just fine for you.
