Hey Louis, thanks for stopping by! Since the Curt # C13105 and the etrailer # e98837 are basically the same hitch, it also is not going to be compatible with a hanging bike rack.

Since this appears to be a trend with these bike racks, then I'd suggest using a platform rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR which does not suspend the bikes.

This bike rack can accommodate up to two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs each, can work with up to a 5" wide tire, and can also be used with motorhomes.

In most cases Loctite is not required when installing a trailer hitch, but it would not be a bad idea. I suggest using the Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker, #LT37643, which will provide a secure grip and protect against water and grime.
