Should there be a lot of resistance when trying to attach these to the aeroblade bar? I feel like the clamp is going to break when I try to push it down

Medium resistance... Make sure that the alignment tool is parallel to the roof of your car and the ground. Best of luck, vince

I do not know, I felt a significant amount of resistance also but assumed this is the design. Considering the rated capacity of the aerodynamic load bars attached by only a "clamping" mechanism - I would expect the resisitance for surety purpose.

That depends on the diameter of your bar clamp: I'd recommend buying spacers. (this handlebar is thinner/intended for motorcycles)

Make sure you can not push them in after you have tightened them . If you can still push them in there maybe something wrong with it . I haven't had any problem with mine and I was using it on a not so leval terane

I used a bar to force everything down to get it into place. Don't be afraid to muscle it. Everything should come together. Loosen everything up and try again.

Mine took a fair bit more force to mount than I was initially comfortable with. But after that it was fine, although they still are stiff to unmount. Perhaps try giving them some extra uumph?(but be careful not to break em)

On mine, he blade carrier just easily lifts up...you might have some sticky substance under the blade carrier that is acting like glue. I would try a steady upward pull; too much twisting might break the post.

I concur w/Sean down below. VERY Cheap, spend the extra bucks for different brand or the next model up. They literally will be falling apart after a couple of uses, you will be using clamps to hold them together.

Good day, this is compatible with the Thule AeroBlade load bars. We also offer the Xadapt kit that allows this to mount into the t-track on the top of the bar for increased aesthetics. Thanks!

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

I have cut through 4" square tubing 3/8 thick with no problem. Make sure the clamp is on good and tight - any slipping and it does a number on the blade. I have bought a new blade after hundreds of cuts but have yet to put it on. Great saw

I would highly recommend this one http://www.bicycleeverything.com/products/Profile-Design-Aerolite-Clip-On-Aero-Bike-Bars.html It the best for me because it can handle a lot of pressure on it.

It comes with C clamps that should fit around your factory bars. I have the aero Thule bars which required me to buy an adapter kit.

I've had it on my scooter for a while now. I have hit all kinds of stuff and it does not budge. The clamp width is about 3" x 2". It does extend beyond the bar width some but not too bad. It should work for you. I ride a small 50cc scooter and it fits in the cramped area of my handlebars. Hope this helps sir!

I don't use the clamps that came with the saw, I use regular C clamps.I glued a piece of wood underneath so the bottom flange doesn't get in the way.I'm really happy with the saw, it works great and it looks like modern art.

Probably; they're geared toward a generic fit for most any bars. But I wouldn't expect a perfect fit, necessarily. I tried mine on Whispbar bars (admittedly, very 'aero'/uncommon bars, even though they're a Yakima product) and wasn't too happy with the fit. They locked-on pretty firmly, but there was a fair amount of space where the clamping mech. met the bar. And they weren't held as firmly as had been my experience with other bar/tray clamp combos. The worst part, however, was how little space there was between the fork/bar clamp and my car's rooftop. Always wary of scratches, etc. when mounting/removing them. But all cars\/bars, etc. are different. Have tyouy though about contacting Yakima directly w/ your question? They're pretty good re: their customer support/tech Q's. Good luck!

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts
