This product is Excellent. I have a Yakima bike rack too and this one is just as good if not better. It's easy to use and will fit any rack system out there. I bought an Inno rack system and all of the other racks work on it. I love this product.

Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier Review

Thule 599XTR Big Mouth Upright Rooftop Bicycle Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bike rack works well once it is mounted.The description of the item did not mention that it needed to be mounted on the Thule roof rack adapter.I ordered only the bike rack.I hoped that the rack would mount directly to my Toyota Rav4's factory roof rack.I've since been looking at other factory roof racks, and have noticed that most of them have airplane wing-like bars which go from side to side.These bars are about three inches in width, and the hardware on the Big Mouth Bike Rack is set up to fit the Thule adapter, which has bars little more than an inch in width.Instead of ordering the adapter, I spent a day tooling my own mounting hardware.This gives the bike rack a much cleaner look, and sets the rack and bike closer to the roof, making it easier to load and unload.The second problem is that the end caps come off much too easily.Other than these problems, the rack works well, and is easy to load and unload.

Thule 532 Ride-On Universal Bike Rack Adapter for Factory Roof Racks Review

Thule 532 Ride-On Universal Bike Rack Adapter for Factory Roof Racks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just bought this item and was not sure what to expect.First of all, be advised that this is an adapter only that will allow you to mount racks to a factory installed roof rack.The Thule adapter attaches on to most factory roof racks be sure to check the fit guide for compatibility at www.thule.com.I used this adapter to add a pair of Yakima Raptor bike racks to my roof.Yes it worked with Yakima.The only adjustment I had make was to use a hacksaw to saw off some plastic components on the inside edges of the Yakima rack that fold in and out.I assume these were meant to be cut off because they folded back and forth.Leaving them on allows you to mount to a rounded bar and cutting them off adapts them to this bar which is rectangular in shape.In less than 1 hour everything was complete.This item is very afforadable, versatile, and easy to install.
