Product Description
Thule's Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier fits over the spare tire that's strapped to the back of your SUV or the trunk of your Cadillac. T3 bike cradles secure your expensive bikes, so they don't pop off when you're rallying your vehicle on the way to the trailhead. Thule's wing-knob makes lowering the arms when you're not using the rack super easy, so you don't clothesline yourself trying to get groceries out of the trunk of your Deville. If you ever get a flat on your car, you can simply pop off the rack to get to your spare tire. The Spare Me works with almost any truck with a spare tire mount, but call our gearheads just to make sure before you buy.

Amazon.com Product Description
Designed for convenience and durability, the Thule Spare Me spare-tire mount rack holds up to two bikes at once, making it an ideal accessory for camping trips and cross-country drives. The Spare Me offers an updated, high-tech look that matches Thule's successful hitch line, so it won't look out of place on modern cars. More significantly, the rack's T3 cradles easily protect your bikes without sacrificing the fit of the frame or the rack's adjustability. And thanks to the improved wing knob, it's easier than ever to raise and lower the bike arms. Made of powder-coated steel tubing and designed to fit a wide range of tires, the Spare Me comes with a heavy-duty strap to secure the bikes and a locking knob that's compatible with Thule's 583 cable lock system. The Spare Me carries one or two bikes and handles up to 75 pounds.

 Worth the money! May 28, 2010
Crash Rescue (Serving overseas)
This is rock solid, and much better quality than the racks with the stupid nylon straps.
Great rack for the money April 11, 2010

I've purchased Thule racks for skis, kayaks and now this one for my mountain bikes, and, as usual, the company knows how to design a great product. This replaced an old over-the-tire rack (with cables surrounding the spare) that had gotten old and rusty, and I really like the design and how it screws into the spare hub behind the tire. It's also adjustable depending on whether your tire is left, right, or center, allowing you to position it so that the bikes don't hang over one side of the vehicle or the other. You don't need a PhD, thick instruction book or a garage full of tools to put this rack in place. You should have it out of the box and ready to haul your bikes in less than 30 minutes.
The rubber straps on the bike arms are particularly useful, allowing you to clamp down the bikes securely without having to worry about using too many extra bungee cords or straps. And it's an attractive design, sturdy brushed silver and black with clean lines.
My only complaint is that the arms are awfully difficult to move up and down when not in use. I always feel like I'm going to break the plastic frame around the fold-down arms when attempting to put into place or stow away. Otherwise, I would have given this five stars. But in terms of quality and price, you can't do better than this rack.

Installed on a Honda CR-V. Instructions are clear, works as advertised. Easy to remove and put back on. Sturdy. Holds two adult bikes well. Make sure your bike is wide enough - my old Canondale has an extra crossbar near the front and it just barely fits.
Great for my 2003 Jeep Liberty March 19, 2010

I love my new bike carrier. It took me not even 20mins to install it. The rack looks like it came with the Jeep. It's firm and stable. I recommended 200%.
Fits my 2007 FJ Cruiser w/ P265/70R17 tires w/o modification January 9, 2010

Despite some previous posts, the rack bolted on to my FJ, just as described, though there was no slack. It would be a problem with larger tires. Rack is rock solid, looks great and gives a bonus advantage of securing the spare tire with a keyed lock. Without the rack, my tire was only secured with three lug bolts. The lock on the Tule rack serves to secure the tire, as well as the rack.
