Question:

What is the difference between the cross section of the Thule Aero and the Rhino Vortex 2500? Im looking at the vortex 2500 RS because it wont leave the bars hanging over the door but they dont have any good bike mounts for thru axle mountain bikes axle to thick 15mm, or tires to wide. So Im wondering if Thules bike mounts will fit on the Rhino vortex aero bars.

Expert Reply:

Thule roof bike racks like the Thule # TH599000 will fit the Rhino Rack aero style bars like the # RRVA126B because they are similar sized. Not all Thule racks are designed to fit aero style bars so you will need to be sure that you see in the description of the rack that it says aero bar.

The Rhino Rack bars are 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall and the Thule Aeroblade bars are 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall
