Default Avant owners with Thule racks WITHOUT Crossroad 450s...

Looks like Thule offered 756xt, 754xt, 751xt, etc and I've read that they were a better design than the 450s.

Anyone have these feet and if so, which model best fits the B5 rails?

Not sure what to say about it. It works well, but I don't have anything else to compare it to. Never had any problems with it.<ul><li><a href="http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/rack/">http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/rack/</a</li></ul>

Default <tracks thread>

No rack but I do a lot of recreation year round and I've still been getting away with no roof rack on the Avant but I'd like to be able to carry 4 people and gear or more gear so look forward to any Thule info....I'm not a fan of Yak racks too much.

So far I can take 3 people with 3 sets of Alpine/Tele gear (tele fits better in sock; lower bindings) or myself and one other person and up to 3 bikes just fine in summer. No one is much over 6' though...and most are under...

I have the feet you pictured. I like them better but you can only use the bar that comes with it.
