Hitch Mount Bike Carriers
Just bought a Thule hitch mount carrier for my mtn. bike and the back door will not open b/c the bottom of the spare tirejust hits the top of the lower upright bar. This is the model that allows the upper part of the rack to fold down, but the remaining "nub" is still too high for the lowest part of the spare.Anyone else have this problem or know of other alternatives that work?
Thanks!

I subsequently tried Yakima and had the same issue so I ended up with the Thule spare tire contraption. Its not what I wanted but will get the job done. Rack on the top is of course an option, but I don't have side rails yet so it would be hard to reach up there. Please post a pic though. Thanks

Damn. Its too late. I have already opened, installed and used the spare tire rack. Figures that someone out there had a solution to this. Thanks though.
