does this work with a thule bike rack
1773002
If the rack accepts a standard size receiver pin then this would work, but it depends on the Thule rack, and if it is a newer rack then it is unlikely that it will work. Most Thule racks either have the "Snug-Tite" system or they use a bolt for securing them in place. You will need to determine exactly which Thule rack you have in order to determine if this will work for you.

It is made to work with yakamah and teule. We offer brackets to work with these 2 racks.Thank you!

If you have the bar that looks like a blade then this is not designed for that. You may have to contact Thule and get what you need as far as adapter clamps. This is on my regular Thule bar, the rectangular tube approximately 1 1/2 x 3//4 bar. They fit that perfectly. Again contact Thule is the best solution here. Thanks Jim

It's a pretty standard Thule rack, they give you square slot holders and a generic around the bar holder. So if you have the VW rails (which I'm pretty sure are Thule) you should be set. I love them!

Yes. It comes with mounting brackets for both factory oval and aftermarket square tubing such as those of the Thule. It's a great rack.

Hmm ... I don't think so mine is a 2" and it fits just right, I googled it and all I fopund was 2" compatibilityhttp://www.thule.com/en-us/ca/products/carriers-and-racks/bike-carriers/hitch-mounted-bike-carriers/thule-vertex-swing-away-9031xt-_-1686826Technical specificationsFits 1.25" receivers NOFits 2" receivers YES

The answer to your question is NO for 2 reasons. 1st your wheel base is larger than the dimensions of the bike carrier (Thule states it is 55"). 2nd the ratcheting arm is only good for wheels between 20" - 29", so the arm would be too short for one of the tires. Generally you ratchet the front tire so your derailleur, chain and sprockets don't interfere with the mount and ratcheting arm of the carrier. The other tire is attached through a sliding tie down, so theoretically it could work if not for the 60" wheel base and IF the mount doesn't interfere with the mechanics of the bike. You probably will not have any luck with any hitch mount or tray mount bike carrier simply because of the wheel base. You may want to look at the specs for the Kuat NV and see if that fits your wheel base, but beware, the rack is expensive...more expensive than Thule, but very good quality. You may want to consider a roof mount option where you can adjust your cross bars to fit your need.

The box clamps to a bar rack with universal clamps that can be put at several different spacings, but you need some adjustability on the spacing of the bars. I would think it would mount easily on the Thule rack. I have mine mounted on a very non-standard wooden rack. The only problem would be if the bars are very close together (small car).

Hello...it fit on the Thule square bars with no problem. I've only tested it with a Ocean Kayak in the driveway and it is very secure. I am also using ratchet straps to hold the boat down and not the ones that came in the kit. I also lined the rear saddles with felt so it will slide off instead of having to bounce off. We purchased another vehicle with factory side racks. I ordered Thule Oval Crossbars for it. Should be here in a few days. I am hoping the saddles will fit on them...it looks like it will...but will see.

I did see a youtube video where the Thule 916XT T2 does allow you to pivot the rack down to open the tail gate, with bikes mounted. You will pay for that feature though, dearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQB4lUtpAAg

Honestly I am not entirely sure, it is retangular in shape, if you think that the Thule rack can adapt that, then you'll be ok!

I'm not sure if the Thule locks work on every model of roof rack. It doesn't make sense that they would design different locks for every model, as the locks are sold separately, and it would cause way too much confusion. You might want to go to Thule's website to research this. I myself would just buy it, and if it doesn't fit, return it for another model or a refund. As I recall, when I bought my locks, there was a list of models it fit.

1 per bike, I have a thule 2 Bike rack and it fits well. You can goto the website and see if it is compatible

I don't see why not. I have after-market rack bars myself (Yakima, though, not Thule). The parts for the bike rack that latch onto the roof bars are fully adjustable. It seems like a very good rack for the price-I just made a 3,000 mile trip with no problems at all, although just to be safe I used small bungee cables for a little extra security.

It works on my round Yakima bars; my guess is that it will work on Thule bars, too.

Yes it will. Just got back from a Colorado trip and the rack was a life saver! Just make sure the bikes do not exceed manufactures bike weight rating limit.

I couldn't say for sure, but looking at the chain stays, I suspect not. The nylon straps that ratchet up on the stays are reasonably long but some of the stays on these folding bikes are large rectangular sections and the thule clamps are round in profile. It would be one of the few bikes that they wouldn't fit. Great racks though.
