Can the Elevate Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier Attach to Both T-Slot Crossbars and Regular Roof Racks?  

Published 10/29/2026

Question:

I have a roof rack with aerodynamic crossbars, but Im planning to upgrade to a rack with T-slots later. Will the Elevate Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier TX96MJ work with both setups, or will I need to buy a different bike carrier when I change my crossbars?

Hey Gary, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Elevate Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier # TX96MJ offers both clamp-on and T-slot mounting options, giving you flexibility when installing it on compatible roof rack crossbars. That's a nice advantage if you're changing roof rack setups or moving the carrier between vehicles. You can use the clamp-on mounting method with compatible crossbars or attach the carrier through the T-slots on a compatible rack without replacing the entire bike carrier.

The wheel-mount design is another feature I like because it lets you secure your bike without clamping directly onto the frame. That's especially appealing if you're hauling a carbon fiber bike or one with an unusual frame shape.

Are you planning to use this with factory crossbars, or do you have an aftermarket rack like Yakima or Thule?
