Hello Reed, thanks for reaching out. I looked up the RSI Smartcap Evo Sport and it looks like this already has T-tracks built in. You can use the TrackTowers # Y52AV and the HD Bar SL Adapters # Y03541 to mount the Yakima HD bars such as the # Y01158 which are 68" long. I do suggest you measure the distance between the tracks to make sure you get an appropriately sized crossbar.

The Yakima Track Tower fasten to the t-tracks via t-bolts that are too wide to go into Smartcap's tracks. Do you have a suggestion on how to make the Track Tower work with Smartcap's narrower tracks?

@Alan Oh ok interesting. You could try grinding down the T-bolts to fit. A smaller t-bolt would be a solution, but I am not aware of anything like that made for the Yakima track towers.

The SmartCap rails already have M8 Square nuts embeded, so you need an M8 screw, but that size doesn't fit through the #1 landing pads. Do the tracktowers use a size M8 screw by chance?
