A Yakima salesman at a ski club sale enlightened me on mixing and matching Yak and Thule, when I explained my need for easy loading. It was his suggestion to buy the Yak adapters for Thule racks, which are: "Mighty Mount 4H", about $8 each for 2 set, required to install one complete set of 4 Hully Rollers. I later learned from a store that they don't plan to market the 4 Hully Rollers next year, but a combination of cradle and rollers. Using 4 rollers gives a somewhat wobbly feel to the strapped down kayak - but it is more or less horizontal on top of the car - using 2 rollers and 2 cradles gives it a much less wobbly feel, though there is still some play in it even after strapping down as tight as I can pull. Thanks for the info on your Thule experience. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Nov 24 1998 - 20:38:56 PST
