Can you purchase the Thule Speedlink parts separately? I'd like to use them to affix my current Thule ski carrier to my new Subaru crossbars.

Hi Jared - the SpeedLinks are proprietary to the new model carriers and not sold as a separate part or accessory. If you have the old square clamp-ons we offer the 7533998 unit-mount conversion kit. Thanks!

They fit my 2010 RX 350 wonderfully and I only once have heard any noise from them and found that one of the top filler strips had slipped to one side after unloading a heavy load - once re-adjusted they were again quiet. Not sure if the Thule set would be much better and I believe you might still have to buy the rail mounts for them on top of the $275 price. I guess it would also depend on what other adaptors you might want to use with them - Bike, Kayak, etc...

Good day, this model is a universal carrier designed to fit Thule, as well as other aftermarket and factory rack systems. Nothing looks abnormal about the bar set, so as long as the vehicle can take the weight, you should be able to install this product without issue. Thanks!

Hi Brandon, the Thule Sidearm is a versatile carrier that has various sizes of hardware included to be able to mount onto most factory crossbars. However, you can always visit www.thule.com and view the Sidearm product page for more info. Thanks!

Thule is the company manufacturing the SportRack bike carrier, and they sell all the spare parts, as well as any add-ons you might require. Use Amazon Thule SportRack replacement parts to find what you need. You should be OK.

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. Your Subaru dealer may have a better solution.

You will need Thule load bars and the mounts for your car. Thule seems to have these for every make and model. If Amazon does not offer the mounts, there are vendors that specialize in Thule on the web. Happy paddling

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.

I think most Thule products are specific to the Thule load bars unless otherwise noted. This rack certainly seems to be, although there may be adapters available. For your application, you might consider a hitch rack if the vehicles you'll have will have hitches. Otherwise, you may need to look to vehicles that you can put your bike IN rather than ON. Good luck!

I have not mounted a Thule bar in this but was informed that it will not fit. You may need to get different mounting brackets

Just go to the Thule site it asks for the specifics for your car and let's you know which equipment is compatible. That way you'll be sure to purchase the correct foot pack etc,

Hi Jon, these are proprietarily designed to work with Thule fit kits, as all manufacturers make their own, only our products will attach to our Edge systems. You will need the Edge bars x 2 as well as the fit kit for your specific vehicle to install these. Thanks!

The OEM rack is manufactured by Thule; they are the "rapid aero" which has been discontinued by Thule. The spec's are likely still available.

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.

Yes as others have said. I have bought them from Spec-D Tuning-80$ and Sport Rack-150$ (which is made by Thule).

Just go to the Thule site. They have a large compatibility chart, or go to any retailer of Thule products. They have the charts and books, etc.
