I spoke with my contact at Thule and the diameter of the locking arm bar on the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Bike Rack, # TH93VR, is 1-1/4 inches. The bar itself has a 1 inch diameter and the foam padding adds 1/4 of an inch to that diameter.

As long as the distance between your tire and down tube is 1-1/4 inches this bike rack will work with your 2012 Trek Madone 6.2 H2.

Hey Jerry, the install of the Aries Bull Bar part #AAB35-4015 do require you to permanently remove the tow hooks to install. It looks like the similar Westin Ultimate Bull Bar part #32-3645 does allow you to keep them though.
