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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works but makes me nervous

Looks good overall but has a few flaws. It took a drill and pliers to get the plug out of the handle to insert the lock (the flat head plastic snapped off and snapped instantly). The setup instructions are pretty useless - you could really use a YouTube video tutorial. There's also a strap underneath which doesn't appear in any of the pictures - it's meant to wrap around the back of the tire and is a really annoying extra step (although it does add some extra stability). When loaded with two wheels, it rocks quite a lot, which makes me nervous at even the smallest of bumps. I'm still not sure if this is normal for the hinges on the cargo door (mine make creaking noises when I slow down). What I like is that I can put it on and take it off relatively easily. The offset function is a plus for my machine. Another benefit is that the RAV4 tire is still mounted on the tire when not in use.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Reliability
