Yep, that's the same one he is using. He used it for 2 years without any problem. Then one day, we on driving on the interstate, and his bike slipped out of the hook thingy. His bike lost tire pressure; so it sank lower, allowing itself to slip off the hook thingy. Just becareful. You're OK as long as you don't lose air. Or tie and hook to your bike, just in case.
