Thule 963 Spare Me 2-Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack Reviews

Summary: thule rack doesn't fit spare tire
Comment: this is a nice rack but should be modified to allow adjustment for spare tires wider than those on Hondas. I bought the rack specifically to fit a standard Jeep spare tire and still had to pay 95.00 dollars to have it lengthened to fit my spare.

Summary: Will Not Fit 2008 Toyota RAV4
Comment: After returning the Yakima Spare Joe that wraps around the spare tire, because of excessive vibration on the highway, I purchased the Thule Spare Me. It looks much more solid than the Yakima, being bolted on rather than held in place by nylon webbing. Unfortunately if you are a Toyota RAV4 owner, your 2008, and possibly 2007 model will not accommodate this rack. Toyota has put a senseless little flange on the spare tire mount that effectively blocks the Thule mounting plate from being secured to the vehicle. A hack saw may be the best solution to this problem, but I don't think Thule should be claiming compatibility with the 2008 RAV4 without a very large asterisk.

Summary: Thule 963 Spare Me 2 Bike Rack
Comment: This was a very good investment. The Rack is very sturdy and a great alternative to having to buy a Class 1 or 2 hitch plus a rack for our Honda CRV. What's nice is in a few moments, I can take the rack off plus, it has a key lock so someone else can't quickly remove it.
It is very adjustable and folds down tight against the tire so it doesn't stick out when we are not using it.
I found that all of the Thule products are very well made. Typical quality Swedish design.

Summary: Works great with my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara
Comment: I just returned from a weekend camping trip, my first using this product, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It was simple to install. I was concerned that my spare tire (the standard tire from Jeep) might be too big, but it fits wonderfully. I was able to take my men's mountain bike and my girlfriend's women's mountain bike down the freeways and back-roads of Southern California without any issues from the rack. Getting the bikes mounted is pretty easy. It was a little different with my girlfriends bike since the bike has different bar angles, but I was able to make it work. I used my bike lock as an additional tie-down just in case, but it wasn't necessary. This morning I took the bikes off and the system easily collapses flat against the tire. You could even take the whole thing off between trips if you don't like the look of the rack. Its so easy to put back on! I shopped around and found Amazon was a bit cheaper than most.

Summary: Great for my 1999 Honda CR-V and full size man's 21-speed bike.
Comment: I have a 1999 Honda CR-V and this works perfectly with my son's full size Raleigh 21-speed. Place the front end of the bike on the right side of the car and it hardly sticks out at all. Easy to install, simple functional design. Good choice for my car.
