• Will The Fork Mount Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack TH95JV Work With 9mm Quick Release Out Of The Box?
  Hi Jan! The Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount # TH95JV (their part number 564005), will work with bikes that have a 9mm quick-release skewer or 9mm captive out of the box. If you have a 9mm thru-axle though, you will need the # TH58BV adapter kit. Are you planning on keeping the front wheel in your vehicle? We do have the Front Wheel Holder # TH98BV that would allow you to keep it on the roof with your bike. Also, what kind of bike are you looking to put on your roof?

• What Thru-Axle Adapter Works With The Thule FastRide?
  Hello Krissy, thanks for reaching out. I do have an option for you, but the RockyMounts StreetRod 12-mm and 15-mm Thru-Axle Adapter for Fork Mount Bike Racks # RKY10941 will not work with the Thule FastRide # TH95JV. it is not meant for use with any of the Thule racks. What you can use instead is the Thru-Axle Adapters for Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH58BV This made specifically for the FastRide so it will work great.

• How To Determine If the RockyMounts SwitchHitter LS Roof Bike Rack Will Clear the Rear Hatch
  In regards to the RockyMounts SwitchHitter LS Roof Bike Rack part # RKY1270, the distance from the center of the mounting clamp to the end of the tray is 53". Therefore, you will need to measure from the center of the front cross bar on your roof rack while in the forward most position to the rear edge of the roof. According to my research, the distance from the center of the front cross bar on the roof rack to the rear edge of the roof on a 2020 GMC Terrain is 53" so the RockyMounts...

• Recommended Crossbars for a Retrax Pro XR Cover on a 2022 Ford F-350 Long Bed
  I would be happy to help you. The RetraxPRO XR Hard Tonneau Cover item # RTT-80384 is the correct tonneau cover for the 8 foot bed model 2022 Ford F-350. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax XR and Mountain Top EVO-M Tonneau Covers item # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 over the Thule system. Unlike the Thule system the Rhino-Rack is actually designed to be mounted over a truck bed. The 71" long crossbar will be just what you need. The Rhino-Rack has a 220 lbs capacity and has built...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Aliner Scout
  There really is no reason that you could not install a SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 on your 2010 Aliner Scout. The feet of the rack will install securely and permanently on the roof of the camper. For bike racks I would recommend the Thule FastRide Fork-Mount Bike Carrier # TH95JV. This is a great rack because of how well it works and how easy it is to use.

• Fit and Compatibility of Thule Roof Rack Accessories on Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars
  I was able to go out to our demonstration bay and test fit the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR37GR with some of the Thule roof bike racks and ski racks for you. I found that the racks like the # TH95JV and # TH7326 are compatible with the Rhino Vortex Aero bars as well as the Thule Aeroblade crossbars. I also found that the T-slot in the Rhino-Rack bar is compatible with the T-slot accessory option that the Thule roof mounted accessories like the # TH95JV has. I have linked the...

• Will Thule Echelon Roof Mounted Bike Rack Work With Factory Aero Crossbars
  The Thule Echelon Roof Mounted Bike Rack is only compatible with aero crossbars that have a top channel when using the Thule Load Bar Adapter for Peloton and Echelon Bike Racks part # THXADAPT9. If you don't have top channels (most factory crossbars don't) you will have no other choice but to buy a new rack, the Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack part # TH95JV is a great option for this and is compatible with factory channel-less aero crossbars.

• Are Adapters Available for Thule Prologue Bike Rack For Aero-Style Crossbars
  Unfortunately, the Thule Prologue bike rack, part # TH515 was designed for use with a square or round crossbar, so it wouldn't work with the Yakima JetStream crossbars. I've checked with my Thule rep, in hopes that there's an adapter available, but there is not. So, your best alternative would be to go with a new bike rack, such as the Thule FastRide, part # TH95JV which fits round, square and elliptical crossbars up to 3-1/4 x 1-1/2 inches tall. The Yakima JetStream crossbars are 3-1/8...

• Will Thule or Yakima Accessories Fit on the Malone MicroSport LowBed Trailer
  While you can fit some Thule and Yakima accessories, like the Thule FastRide # TH95JV or Yakima ForkLift # Y02098, around the crossbars of the Malone MicroSport LowBed Trailer # MPG464-LB, the closest you will be able to get those crossbars is 44" which is well over the max crossbar spread length of the majority of accessories. An alternative option that would allow you to fit practically any accessory is the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. This has 78" long crossbars which are...

• Will 12 x 110 mm Thru Axles Work With the RockyMounts StreedRod?
  The RockyMounts StreetRod 12-mm and 15-mm Thru-Axle Adapter for Fork Mount Bike Racks # RKY10941 does not have a specific adapter that is going to work with a 12 x 110 mm thru axle, but since this rack can accommodate a 15 x 110 mm thru axle yours will also work. Thule is the only one I know that offers an adapter in this size # TH58BV, but this is only going to work with their Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike # TH95JV.

• Bike Carrying Options for 2012 Mini Countryman
  To carry bikes on your 2012 Mini Countryman, you'd need to either use a hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack, or you'll need to install a roof rack and carry your bikes on the roof. None of our bike rack manufacturers offer a trunk mount bike rack that is compatible with your vehicle. As long as your Countryman isn't a John Cooper Works model, you could install the Curt # C11333 hitch. You'd then install a Class I compatible bike rack in the hitch. I'd recommend the Swagman Trailhead, part...

• Differences Between Thule FastRide & Thule TopRide Roof Bike Racks
  The biggest difference is fit; the Thule TopRide Roof Bike Rack # TH75JV fits bikes with a 9-mm quick-release skewer, 9-mm captive, 12-mm and 15-mm thru-axle, and 12-mm and 15-mm Boost thru-axle. The Thule FastRide # TH95JV only fits bikes with a 9-mm captive or 9-mm quick-release skewer, and requires Thru-Axle Adapters # TH58BV to use the rack with 9-mm, 12-mm, or 15-mm thru-axle forks (both require Boost Thru-Axle Adapter # TH38BV for a 20-mm x 110-mm Boost thru-axle). So really, the...

• Will the Thule FastRide Work on 2020 Toyota RAV4
  Yes the Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH95JV will be a great fit for your 2020 Toyota RAV4. Thule does a great job making sure that it will fit a wide range of crossbar sizes. Really the only time I've ever ran into an issue with any of their roof rack accessories fitting is when the bars are very large like what you would see on an XTerra or Hummer. I do recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders part # TH450200 as this will give you lock cores to secure both the rack...

• Are Locks Included with the Thule FastRide
  Although the Thule FastRide Roof Mounted Bike Rack, part # TH95JV is configured to accept one of the Thule lock cores, they are not included with the rack. The smallest available number of the lock cores are 2, part # TH450200. If you have other Thule equipment, you can also obtain quantities of 4 cores, # TH450400, 6 cores, # TH450600, or 8 cores, # TH450800, so the locks all match. I've linked you to an FAQ article about roof mounted bike racks.

• Roof Rack Recommendation for Bike Rack and Cargo Box on 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross with Naked Roof
  Thanks for reaching out! For your application we'll need to stick with the Yakima JetStream system since Thule doesn't have a fit for your 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross naked roof at this time (January 2023). The 50" JetStream crossbars will be a great size for fitting both the Thule FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH95JV and Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B. Here are the parts you'll need for the complete roof rack system: 50" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00425 or Silver # Y00428 BaseLine...

• 12MM x 10MM Ford Adapter For Thule FastRide Roof Rack Bike Carrier
  Thule offers their Adapters # TH58BV which will allow you to secure your 12mm x 100mm axle on the FastRide Roof Bike Rack # TH95JV. If you have a different roof mounted bike rack please let me know which model you have so I can verify if this adapter will work or if you will need a different adapter.

• Thule 589 Velo Vise Compatability with Audi Base Carrier Bars
  I got in touch with Thule, and they stated that the Thule 589 Velo Vise on its own will only work with square bars like you mentioned. The Thule Bike Square Bar Adapter you mentioned would only be needed if you had square bars that you needed to use with a bike rack that wasn't made for square bars. To make your Thule 589 Velo Vise work for your 2018 Audi A5, you could also just use a roof rack with square bars to avoid having to use other adapter accessories. I recommend the Thule SquareBar...

It has a maximum weight capacity of 37.5-lbs and the maximum tire width allowed is 3 inches. It is easy to use and easy to install.

• Bike-Carrying Options For 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK Series
  There are a few options you can consider to carry bikes on your 2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK. As you mentioned, it would be easier to use a trunk mount bike carrier, but you would not be able to open the rear hatch with a trunk-mount bike rack installed. A roof rack is another option, but it may be difficult to place bikes on and off the roof in a bike rack. A third option which I recommend is to have a hitch installed and use a hitch-mount bike carrier. This keeps the roof open, and with...

• Adapter Needed to Fit Thule Prologue Pack 515 Bike Rack to Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars
  Thank you for the details and the picture! There used to be an adapter that could be used but that has also been discontinued. At this time you either need new square crossbars or a new bike rack that can mount directly to aero-style crossbars. If you decide to go this route and you want to stick with the Thule brand then you need the Thule FastRide # TH95JV. for something more cost-effective I recommend the Inno Fork Lock III # INA391 instead. Review videos of each have been added for...

• Option for Carrying 4 Bikes with a 2012 Mazda 5
  On a Class I hitch you should never carry more than 2 bikes with a hitch mounted bike rack. The reason is because of the additional weight and leverage of the additional 2 bikes would be too much for the hitch/frame and would most likely cause damage. I attached an FAQ on hitch classifications for you to check out. At this time there are only Class I hitches available for your vehicle (like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11127 you referenced). However, you if you really need to transport 4...

  Most of our neighbors who have higher end vehicles, and do not want a fixed solution to a roof rack choose the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Vacuum Cup Roof Rack Part # 298-SX6000B. It secures quickly and easily with the vacuum cups and provides more than enough suction to carry bikes or surfboards. It provides a weight capacity of 150 pounds! Our neighbors prefer this design because of the installation process and the scratch free security the suction cups offer. It provides plenty of adjustability...

• Bike Carrying Options for a 2014 Mini Cooper Countryman
  The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634 is the only trunk bike rack confirmed to fit the 2014 Mini Countryman. As long as your vehicle isn't a 'John Cooper Works' model, you could install a trailer hitch, like part # C11333 and then use a two bike hitch mounted rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. You could also carry bikes on the roof of your vehicle. You would need to install a roof rack, using the following parts: 47 inch SquareBars, part...
