Will LockRack Universal Fit Yakima Crossbars

Question

Question:

LockRack universal: I have hobie revolution, and several paddle boards. I have two sets of crossbars and the aero blade one leaves me feeling a little insecure about the clamp on bit. I have Yakima square bars that for sure never come off down the road…it looks like maybe the lockrack won’t mount to square bars without me buying something additional…am I wrong?

Hey Ed, the LockRack Series-X Universal Adjustable Watersport Carrier - Side Loading - Universal # LR24VR that you referenced would fit great to a set of Yakima crossbars as the clamp design is confirmed to fit all styles of Yakima crossbars. Are you sure they aren't Thule square bars? It won't make a fit difference but I am curious as Yakima wasn't known for a square bar.
