Expert Reply:
I looked up your 2011 Trek Fuel EX7 bike on the internet to get an idea of where the front Fox racing shox are located. That is a very nice looking bike. On the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Single Bike Rack, part # TH93VR, the only way you might be able to tell if the ratchet arm assembly will clear your shox on the front fork will be to measure from the center of your front tire out to the farthest edge of the shox.
I went out in the warehouse and measured the distance from the center of where the tire will sit in the frame of the bike rack to the closest part of the ratchet arm assembly and it measures 3 inches. If the measurement that you have taken on your bike is less than 3 inches, the ratchet arm assembly will clear your shox on the front fork of your bike.
