Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers. This kit allows you to mount your roof-mounted carriers to Thule load bars with channels, like the Rapid Aero, AeroBlade, and Xsporter load bars. It works with the Thule Big Mouth or the upright bike racks 599XT and 599XTR, and also the Thule FlatTop ski carriers TH724 and 725.All the pieces that you get are laid out right here. You get your cam lever handle. You get the necessary bolts. You get the plates and the spacers.
In the instructions, you're going to notice that it has, really, three different sets of instructions. The first one is for using the 599 XT Ultimate Upright Bike Carrier. For this setup, you would use three of the 25 millimeter T-bolts, and then you would use three of the spacers. It walks you through exactly how to get that installed. I just want to show you that process there, and then you have another set of instructions right here.This one is for mounting the 599 XTR Ultimate Upright Bike Rack.
In this case, you would need to use the fastener plate, which is the large plate, the large spacer, and then you would need to use the cam handle with the barrel nut, and you would need to use all three smaller spacers as well as all three square head bolts. Again, it walks you through how to get that installed. It all just slides into the T-slots. Really easy process, does a great job in walking you through the whole installation setup.Then the last thing I want to mention is for the ski carriers, this is that third set of instructions I'm talking about. You'll see here that the only thing that's needed is four of the 35 millimeter T-bolts, and they slide in.
They go right up through the carrier, and then it just says you'd follow the ski carrier instructions for proper tightening of the ski carrier to the rack. So, easy-to-use design. Again, this is an adapter kit that allows you to mount your roof-mounted carriers to Thule load bars with channels such as the Rapid Aero, AeroBlade, and Xsporter load bars.
