Bauer Revolution Bike Rack Hitch Pin and Lock

Updated 02/02/2021 | Published 01/28/2021

Question:

I have a Bauer Bike Rack, and lost my lock and pin for it. The rack has square holes that use a special anti-rattle type pin and lock. Do you carry that style pin, or do I need to drill out the hole to fit a standard type pin and lock?

Unfortunately, we do not have any square hitch pins, and we have no way of knowing if a round pin will fit.

As for drilling out the hole, I would not recommend that. You could be compromising the structurally integrity, which could be dangerous.

It looks like the Bauer bike racks are no longer available, so I recommend upgrading to the Yakima FullSwing, part # Y02465. This is a hanging style bike rack that has the swing-away function, making it very similar to yours. I've linked to a video review of this bike rack for your consideration.
