Will 29 Inch Trek and Specialized MYKA Fit Thule Spare Me Bike Rack without Adapters

Question:

My husband and I are looking at your TH963PRO rack, but I have one question that I didnt see addressed by any of the reviews. My husband has a 29 inch wheel Trek and I have a Specialized MYKA also with 29inch wheels. Will this bike rack accommodate both of our bikes without adapters?

I looked at some images of both bikes and as long as they are not full suspension bikes you can load them on the Thule Spare Me, # TH963PRO, without using adapter bars. But they will be carried on the rack at an angle which could affect ground clearance.

If either bike has full suspension or you want them as straight as possible I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
