  • Can a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack be Used in a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver

This would be the most ideal way to adapt the bike rack to fit the new hitch. If a specific adapter is not available, you can use a reducer sleeve to convert the 2 inch hitch to a 1-1/4 inch for times when you want to use the bike rack. Fo

Most of the time that will do the trick. However, if that does not work I would next try a cheater bar on the wrench o
