Question:

I have a oem roof rack from Honda from my crv and need an adapter for my big mouth Thule bike rack

asked by: Andrew

Expert Reply:

I have some options! I confirmed with Thule that the compatible adaptor for an OEM rack is the ride on adaptor which goes on square bars only.

With that being said, another solution is the Thule XADAPT2 AeroBlade and Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Roof-Mounted Carriers # Xadapt2. The XADAPT2 works with Thule Big Mouth bike rack.

In order to get you to the right direction, Thule adaptors work with Thule crossbars. In order to get the roof rack on the road, you will need to replace your factory crossbars with a pair of Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711120. The crossbars do require a few parts for a naked roof, raised rails, or flush rails:

Naked roof:
- Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH480R

Raised rails:
- Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401

Flushed Rails:
- Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH186033
