Question:

Hello. Will this rack with the channel mounting hardware fit onto the t-track of Rhino Rack Vortex Bars? Would like to use the channel mount and not the clamp on mount. Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Thule ProRide Roof Bike Rack has been discontinued but will fit the Rhino-Rack Vortex Load Bars. This combination will allow you to use the channel mounting hardware instead of the clamps for a cleaner look and more secure fit to deter theft. I do recommend getting the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200 to secure your bike to the rack and the rack to the crossbar.

If you haven't yet purchased a bike rack, I recommend considering the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount # TH599000. This will also allow you to use the top channel in your crossbars for a very clean and secure mount.

If you don't already have the metal lock cores on your bars, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Locking Endcaps for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Metal Cores - Qty 4 # RRVA-LEC4 to secure your roof rack and these accessories.
