(The La Ruta Maya Rack) Thanks a lot.   Leslie N.

It's a pain getting the spare down from there, too. If you need to carry a second spare, go for it, but otherwise I'd leave it on the backdoor.... my buddy ended up carrying his spare in his rear cargo area instead of on the rack, FWIW..... IMHO, YMMV.... -L   Anonymous Posted on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 04:34 pm:    tie down in the corner... that's the way I did it and never had a problem....wrap the tie down through the center of the rim and around the bar underneath then into the corner of the rack ..pull tight and done.... easy and quick
