Thule's Ride-On Adaptor is the middleman between your car's factory rack and almost any Thule Bike carrier. If you don't want to invest in an entire Thule rack, you can simply get the Ride-On Adaptor and save tons of cash. The adaptor comes with universal mounting hardware that attaches to most factory racks. It comes with 32in load bars so there's room for two bikes. Strong, level load bars provide an ideal platform for mounting your bike. It works with the Thule Criterium and Big Mouth upright carriers as well as V2, Velo Vise, and Long Tray Classic fork mount carriers.

This rack worked great as a cost effective measure to carry a 3rd bike on my roof. One of the other riders had an old Thule roof rack that would not fit the factory racks of his new car nor mine. He's planning on getting these adapters also. Now that I have them, I plan to get a newer model roof rack. This is better than having to totally replace my factory racks in addtion to the cost of the roof rack. I normally do not need access to carry a third bike. | |

Simple, cost effective bike carrier! | |

| I just bought a mini-van to replace my gas guzzling full size truck...rather than carry my bike inside the vehicle, I wanted a cost effective means to install a roof rack. The Thule ride-on adapter was the only roof rack system which easily attached to my van's installed roof rack system and was compatible with many Yakima and Thule bike carrier attachments. For [$]it's tough to find a reliable/stable roof rack system. The only disadvantage is that is effective width is only 32" which is more than enough to accommodate two bike carriers. | |

Great Value! | |

| This is great if you just want a cheap and simple add-on to your factory rack. It's only as stable as your factory cross bars and the bars themselves aren't long enough to carry a cargo box along with your bike or other item. But compared to the more expensive options, if you're just looking for a simple way to haul a bike or two- this is definitely an effective product. | |

Save the money and buy the complete system for your vehicle. Not the typical THULE product quality. I am scared to use it with MY bikes. I have 4 THULE rack systems on 4 vehicles. I can't get much information from THULE on load ratings for this product. | |
