The product is perfect . The only complaint I have is your shipping.I have ordered a lot of product from you over the years and everytime no info about shipping.I ordered these on the 5th I live around 150 miles from you it took 5 day's to get it. In this day an age when everything is purchased on line and you need it yesterday I would think you could modernize your shipping.

Great. It allowed me to create a solo Thule bike rack for when I only take one bike on the car. Easier on the back then using Thule 2 bike T2 system.

Just like you said, thanks!

Do you have a question about this Accessories and Part?

How Long is Replacement 2 Inch Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers, # P249
I went out to the warehouse and measured the Replacement 2 Inch Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers, # P249. The overall length is 19 inches. The center to center distance between the pin holes is 16 inches. I have included a picture showing these measurements.

Adding an Anti-Rattle Device to Replacement Swagman Bike Rack Shank for 2 Inch Trailer Hitches
The threaded pin, # P5901, will only fit Swagman racks that have a 2 inch shank. The anti-rattle insert fits in a 1-1/4 inch shank. So these parts are not compatible. But if you are using the replacement shank # P249 then you could just use # 63232 which is an anti-rattle device and hitch lock in one. I have linked a video review of this device for you.

How Thick Is the Steel on the Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers
According to Swagman, the steel on the Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers # P249 is 1/8" thick. This is designed to replace the shank on Swagman XC series 2-bike carriers manufactured before 2008. The pin and clip # P5901 are sold separately.

Can Shank # P249 be Used with Swagman Traveler XCS # S64664 when Not Using it on an RV
You would not want to use a 1-1/4 inch shank with a 2 inch adapter on it on a bike rack used at the back of an RV. That makes # P249 the better option for rack # S64664. So it can be done.

Replacement Shank Recommendation for a Swagman S64663 Bike Rack
We do offer just a replacement shank for the Swagman Bike Rack part # S64663 that you have. For that you would want the part # P249.

Availability of Replacement Straight Shanks for Swagan XCS Traveler S64664 Bike Rack
According to Swagman, if you're wanting to put a regular shank on your Swagman XCS Traveler 64664 You'd need to replace the entire gusset assembly which would be prohibitively expensive enough that you'd be better off purchasing a new XC, part # S64650. The # P249 repacement shank would not work.
