Question:
Is the Thule tram ski rack compatible with 9043?

Expert Reply:
The Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter # TH9033 has a list in the instructions that says it won't work with the Helium bike racks, however, I'm pretty sure that is referring to the older style Helium racks and I believe it needs to be updated. Reason being that the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack # TH9058 has the same cradle spacing as the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO and the Camber is listed as a fit so I see no reason why the Tram shouldn't fit with the Helium Pro. If you're referring to the older Helium Aero 9043 bike rack then it won't work.
I did reach out to my contact at Thule to confirm this information but she just repeated what the instructions said and when I asked why it wasn't compatible she said that the cradle spacing was the issue - but I've already addressed that above.
If you're talking about the newer Helium then I say go for it since the cradle spacing is the same between the bike racks.
