Adapter For Mounting Thule Echelon 518 Bike Rack to Crossbars With Top Channel
Question:
I have the Thule Rapid Aero RB43. The bars do have a top channel, under the rubber strip, assuming that comes out. Chatting with a saab forum members he suggest it needs the "xadapt" kit to work with the 518 echelon bike rack.

Thanks so much for that detailed info, and we do have the exact adapter you need so you can mount your Thule Echelon 518 bike rack to your Rapid Aero crossbars, and it is indeed an Xadapt:
- Thule Load Bar Adapter for Peloton and Echelon Bike Racks # THXADAPT9
The top strip of your Rapid Aero crossbars does indeed come out, and this kit gives you the pieces necessary to mount your Echelon bike rack directly into the top channel so it's all you'll need.
