Question:

Will the Rocky Mountain snap arounds work with Yakima round crossbars to mount the Yakima lockjaw style bike racks?

The RockyMounts replacement bar clips would need be compatible with Yakima round crossbars, however RockyMounts could not say if they'd be compatible with a Yakima bike rack as they haven't been tested with one. This being said, there's almost no physical difference between the Yakima # Y8810135 SnapArounds and the RockyMount # RKY1330 Replacement Bar Clips you've looked at. Because they're almost identical, and RockyMounts states they'll fit a Yakima crossbar, I'm very confident that the RockyMount # RKY1330 will work with your Yakima LockJaw bike rack.
