Review on 🚲 Thule 963PRO Spare Me 2 Bike Spare Tire Bike Carrier - Secure & Convenient Solution for Biking Enthusiasts by Josh Endricko

I want to give this rack a 5 but there are a few things I don't like at first glance. The rack was sent in factory packaging, which was sufficient. Everything was packed in bags, no parts were missing. I installed it on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Installation was quite easy and took about 30-45 minutes. The spare wheel is removed and a plate with a hitch is placed on the three mounting lugs. Then I put the replacement part back on and tightened it. However, due to the thickness of the plate, the nuts cannot fully penetrate the wheel. Then I noticed that this was causing the tire to loosen on the rubber stops on the jeep's spare tire. Another issue was one of the threaded fasteners that secured the post when lengthened. The broken threads were in the middle and didn't prevent me from fastening it tightly. I used the rack on a GCNP trip with a road bike in May and it worked well. He held the bike very securely.
