Recommended Frame-Mounted Bike Rack For Square Crossbars

Question:

I have an old square bar car top rack that I would like to buy a bike rack for. Do you carry these.

I recommend looking into the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004. This bike rack clamps onto square crossbars and require a crossbar spread of 18"-36". Crossbar spread is the distance from the center of one crossbar to the center of the next crossbar. I have attached a photo to demonstrate this measurement.

This bike rack has a weight capacity of 44lbs and can hold a bike tire with a maximum width of 3". It secures the bike by clamping onto the bike frame and also strapping the wheels down. If your measurements determine that this bike rack will not work for your square bars then feel free to send more information and a photo of your setup and I will find exactly what you need. I have attached a demonstration video for this bike rack.
