Anti-Rattle and Cable Lock for Sportrack and Valley Bike Racks with Built-in Anti-Rattle System
Installation: The cable lock is installed by first taking off the plastic end cap on the bar of the bike rack-either upright bar w/hooks (a30901/a30902) or arm of a dual arm carrier (a30403/a30404). Punch out the holes on the cap and then reinstall. Next slide the cable lock in though the end of the bar (as pictured below), starting with the end opposite the lock. Once the cable is a few inches into the bar of the bike rack, insert the black (or silver) pin through the 2 side holes. The bar is used to keep the cable from coming back out and also as an attachment point for the lock. The included clip is used to hold the pin in place.

Today we are going to show you part number A32022 from SportRack. This is a SportRack hitch and cable lock. Both of these locks are keyed alike. This hitch and cable lock combination will work on a variety of different bicycle racks from SportRack, and we will list them here. The first one is the A30901. This one is the first one we will show off the demonstration with. Another bicycle rack will be the A30403 and A30404.
First off, we are going to show you the hitch lock portion of the kit, consisting of the replacement bolt. This bolt will replace the bolt that came with your bicycle rack. And it has this washer and lock washer. And we will go ahead and install it, and then we will pop the lock on the other side right here. All right, now we are going to install the cable lock, and again, we are going to use it on bicycle rack part number A30901. First off, what you want to do is take off this cap right here. Take your cap and thread the cable on through, and then just put it straight down into the tube. And then you can replace your cap at that same time. And then take your pin that comes with it, the locking pin, and that just goes right on through the post and out the other side. And then, it comes with a little C-clip and that gets installed into one of these grooves right here. Just take it and put it in the groove. And sometimes you can press it with your finger, sometimes you might need something a little harder to press it into place.
OK, we have got our bike installed now let us go ahead and secure it. If you had two bikes, you would just wrap this cable around both frames, and around itself, and then back onto the post. And now your bikes are cable locked to the bicycle rack, and they are secure and they will not go anywhere.
Next, we are going to show the SportRack hitch and cable lock on a different bicycle rack. This is actually part of their Escape Series, part number A30403. You see, it is a totally different model. It actually holds the bicycles by the top tube instead of by the wheels like on the previous bicycle rack. As that point goes, it installs just the same. As you can see here, we have got it run through our hitch, out the other side, and the lock pops on - secure, it is good to go, and it is not going to go anywhere. Now the top part, where the bikes reside, we will install the cable lock there and show you how that works. Again, it is the same procedure: install the cable, put in the pin, and you are ready to go. To do our install, basically we have to pop out three knockouts here:there is one, two and three. And you take a simple screwdriver and push them inside and just knock them out of the way. And then do the one in the middle here. And that is all the preparation it needs. All right, we will install our cable as before, through the middle. And then we install our pin, and then install our C-clip, which goes right on the very end right here, and it snaps in position, and this pin cannot come out.
Now you can see we have a bicycle installed on the rack, and we will show you how to secure it. Again, this will apply either to one bike, as shown here,or a rack completely filled up. Just take the cable and pull all the way out. As you can see, it would cover all the bikes, but for now we will just go around our one bike here and then secure it in place. Just wrap it around the frame and it is secured. And also, with the one bike being secured, the ones in the back cannot be taken off, either, at that point. And this part will also work on the rest of Escape Series bike racks from SportRack, such as part number A30404. And there you have it for part number A32022 from SportRack, the SportRack a hitch and cable lock.

both parts broke I like the idea of the product but when I checked the lock that locks the bikes to the hitch, I questioned the small amount of resistance between the bolt and the sides of the tubing, I pull on the cable with some force but not a lot and the aluminum clasp pulled right off, allowing the cable to pull right through. If a dirt bag wants to steal your bikes it is a good visiual deterant but if they pull on the cable hard enough, chances are it might pull through. I installed the lock that mounts the rack to the car, great idea, very easy to use alas three days after mounting it on my wifes car, the bolt head sheared right off. Did I tighten it too much, don't think so, the point is you tighten it to help fight rattle issues. I think the problem lies with low quality bolts, they need a grade three minumum, grade eight would be better. So as much as I'd like to say great idea and simple to use, both locks failed badly. Higher quality parts, and they would have a clean, fast way to help secure the bikes and hitch. If you want a visually secure lock set this may work for you, just don't tighten the bolt that much and don't pull on the cable to check its worth, chances are you might accidentally hit yourself in the face when it breaks free. Etrailer was great about returning the product and sending a new one, problem is once it gets here, will I test the quality or just send it back? Good luck 2560

This product is very helpful and easy to install. In general, I have found etrailer to be a very reputable company and I enjoy doing business with them. I had ordered a trailer hitch and 'sportsrack' bike rack from them and when I found a better price at another company they immediately refunded the difference when I brought it to their attention. I will continue doing business with etrailer.com, they have great service and are a pleasure to do business with.5921

Nice addition to the rack Really like the idea of locking my bike AND rack to the hitch. I'm using this as a back up in case the rack should fail while driving, and in case I need to stop somewhere temporarily. I don't expect this to be completely theft proof, but what really is?2745

It's a must have This complements the SportsRack and it is a must. With the cable in place you don't have to worry about the bikes falling off due to anything. It is not only to avoid getting your bikes stolen but also to make sure the bikes don't fall off and kill somebody. 2310

Not bad, I would reccomend it This lock provides a decent first line of defense. As the cable will reach around the bike frames but cannot reach through all the wheels I recommend using it together with a good cable style bike lock laced through all your bike's wheels - especially if they are equipped with quick release hubs. The lock mechanisms used for both the cable and locking hitch pin are identical seem solid. With my 1 1/4" receiver I found I needed to install the lock on the bolt before fully tightening it but this works fine. A 2" receiver should provide enough additional clearance to make this unnecessary.1191

Cable is too short for 2 bikes I do not like this lock kit because the cable to lock the bikes is so short it will not secure the two bikes that I am using.1031

I purchased this product to add a second lock to a 4 bike SportRack I had previously purchased from etrailer. I swaped out the original antisway trailer hitch and added the additional lock to the back bar for the other two bikes. I still have to carry two keys because the original locks for the hitch and bike locks werent the same. It would have been more useful if the cable would have been longer to secure all four bikes on this rack instead of a cable just long enough to cover two bikes. Over all the product is well made and was easy to install and use.41150

What excellent customer service I have received from etrailer. You have made my purchase so easy and you have provided so much helpful information. This bike carrier lock/hitch lock is great and easy to use. I love the fact that both locks use the same key. The Sportsrack quality is fantastic. Thanks for great products!!32848
