Thule 963PRO Spare Me 2 Bike Spare Tire Bike Rack

The Thule 963PRO Spare Me is a two bike, locking spare tire rack for use on vehicles with rear mounted spares like the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota Rav 4. The 963PRO is a two arm rack that hangs bikes in Stay-Put Cradles by the top tube, with a lower strap to hold the seat tube, preventing the bike from swaying back and forth. Bikes get locked into the rack with a braided steel locking cable that hides away in the rack.

To mount the rack on the vehicle, a universal-fitting steel plate is mounted behind the spare tire against the vehicle's door. Multiple lengths of bracket are included to fit stock wheels and many oversize spare tires. The rack tensions on using a locking knob and comes off easily when unlocked. If you prefer to leave the rack on the vehicle, the bike arms can fold down when not in use for a more flush look.

Worried about your bike frame fitting into the rack? The Thule 982XT Frame Adapter (sold separately) grabs a bike by the seat post and head tube, giving you a standard size bar to hang a unique bike frame from.
