Question:

Can the basket be mounted to aero bars using bolts that fit in the tracks of the aero bars or does it only use a big clunky clamp that goes around the aero bars?

Expert Reply:

The Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Cargo Basket # Y07014 uses a clamping system instead of a track mounted system. The U-Bolts ate a bit more sleek looking than the standard U-Bolt kit though as the housing they insert into hide them really well.

Track mounted cargo carriers aren't super common but we do have a few options you can check out from Inno with their Shaper 100 # Inno Shaper 100 Roof Cargo Basket - Channel Mount - Aluminum - 46-1/2" x 41-7/8" - 110 lbs
Item # INXA569 and their Roof Deck which comes in 2 different sizes; 39-1/2" x 43-1/4" # INA510 and 55" x 55" # INA520. The Shaper 100 comes with the track mounting kit and while I do love the mounting kit that comes with the Roof Deck, you can mount it via track system by using the kit # INBRP12.
