In order to mount the Thule Criterium Roof Mount Bike Rack part 898 on the Thule AeroBlade Crossbars in the channels you will only need to obtain the Thule Xadapt8 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Criterium Bike Rack part # Xadapt8. The Xadapt8 AeroBlade Adapter will then mate up to the Replacement Barrel Nut fpart # 853-0446-06 as they both have M6 threads.

I have attached a photo to assist.
