Adapters to Use Thule Echelon, Peloton, or Big Mouth Bike Racks on Thule AeroBlade Crossbars

Question:

Hi, I see this part holds the bike rack in place while the bolts secure the rack to the vehicles cross bars. I am looking to purchase this part but needs to fit over the Thule Aeroblade cross bar. Can you point me in the right direction? I may also need the longer bolts to go with this.

Expert Reply:

Which bike rack are you wanting to use on the Thule AeroBlade crossbars? You will likely need one of their Xadapt kits but which one depends on the bike rack. If you have the Thule Echelon or Peloton you will need Thule XADAPT9 Load Bar Adapter for Echelon, Peloton and Prologue Bike Racks Item # THXADAPT9.

If you have a Big Mouth then you will need Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers Item # XADAPT2.

The adapters will allow you to use those bike racks with the Thule AeroBlade crossbars.
