I have the round yokima cross bars, is there a universal round clamp with it?

it comes with a square U bolt. It would work if you tighten the U bolt well. I am beyond satisfied with the carriers I bought!

The mounting is accomplished with a plate on the bottom that is shaped to work well with square bars. It does not have a 'standard u-bolt' though you may be able to find a size that would kind of fit. I wouldn't suggest the mounting method used on this product for round cross bars.

I just looked at it again. There is a thin metal bar that goes between the cross bars and the knobs, I guess this is thin enough to conform to the round cross bars, but I just don't know how well it would hold.

no, comes with square u-bolts, or mine did at least, the seller may be able to exchange idk, i didnt ask

No, these do not have the universal round clamp. The only clamps that come with it are pictured.

The U-Bolts will once tightened up enough cause the flat plate to conform to the round bar allowing the carrier to work well. You will still need to secure the kayak to that there is not any forward or backward motion as the carrier will move in that direction when unsecured. Once in place they are very nice carriers.

Not sure if I'm understanding the question because the Yakima round bars, 58" long, are 1" in diameter. Would appear to me to be the same as you have now. The specs on the Amazon page are usually for the packaged product. The REI website says 1". The Rack Attack website says 1 1/8" when referring to the 48" bars. They may have been using calipers for that one. You should be OK.

Fits both although to be honest it would fit the square and wing shape better than the round. We switch back and forth between our round yakima cross bars and the square cross bars on our Honda Odyssey. On the yakima cross bars they have a tendency to "spin" right or left and not stay upright when sliding a boat on. On our flat/square cross bars we don't have this problem. Not sure how they'd fit on Thule because I don't own that system.

I think Yakima really designed this particular rack for the factory cross bars, since many of their other racks work with their proprietary shape. So, if your car is rolling with those bad boys, you should be all set; they set up on my Subaru no problem!

Your Subaru dealer may have a better solution. I just got a 2015 Outback, and I already owned two Yakima ski holders and two bike holders (which I used on a Yakima round-bar rack). My Subaru dealer's parts department has "Ski Mounting Clamp" (also called "Crossbar Clamps Vert" part #E361SAJ901) and "Bike Attachment Mounting Clamp" (also called "Crossbar Clamps Hori" part #E361SAJ801) which I am using to attach my legacy Yakima holders directly to the Subaru's crossbars. These clamps are not offered by Yakima. These clamps are much simpler, cheaper, and more secure than Mighty Mounts. I am glad I checked on the Subaru website and found a solution that is superior to the horrible Mighty Mounts.

I used it first on my wife Highlander with aero cross bars an it worked great. I now have it on a Yakama round bar and can not get it tight enough to not rotate. So your oval should work well , but the bolts may not be long enough. Contact manufacturer to be sure.

Not sure what type of bars you have but don't think these would work too well with round bars.

Standard Thule Crossbars are rectangular not round. Yakima bars are round. They are made to work with standard Thule crossbars.

No, you don't. Many universam accessories can be mounted on your cross bars. But read carefully what size and style cross bars the accessory clamps will fit on ( ie. Some fit only square or round bars). Enjoy!

Yes! Yakima Hitch Lock Mod# 8007235. It locks on to the bolt provided with this rack. Works perfectly!

As per advertising, they fit Yakima round bars and Thule square bars. One caution... I had to go back to Thule as I have the Yakima round bars. Supplied carriage bolts (1"') are not sufficient. You will need (for Yakima round bars) 1.5" or (as they say) 9mm carriage bolts. If they are not supplied in your kit, Thule will send them to you. Just got the replacements.

They are supposed to be universal but they dont fit my round bars the way I like. And they are extremely hard to put on and off. They do fit the round bara but they wiggle.

It shouldn't matter whether the bars are square or rounded. It just attaches with brackets underneath and as long as the bars aren't too wide or deep, it should fit.

Nobody else seemed to understand your question. I tried to use my kreg right angle clamp with micro jig holes yesterday, unfortunately it does not fit the smaller holes.

Hi Lisa. My clamps are one and a half inches and they come with rubber shims for a couple different sizes
