Video Transcript for Saris Hitch Bike Racks Adapter Sleeve Replacement Review
What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. So I bought this bike rack a long time ago, maybe misplaced the cover, so I went from another vehicle that was inch and a quarter, upgraded to a two inch by two inch hitch. Well, I don't have to buy a whole new bike rack, I can just buy this separately and add it onto the bike rack, and now, it'll fit in the two inch by two inch receiver. What you're gonna get is the adapter for the shank, slide it over the bike rack, then we have the bolt that goes in right here, put our adapter in place. We're gonna use a five millimeter Allen wrench, and we're gonna do that to tighten down the bolt, so that our adapter is attached to the shank. Now, with the adapter installed, I can lift the bike rack up and put it in the hitch.
We'll come back with our anti-rattle hitch pin and ratchet, tighten it down. Now, the bike rack fits on the hitch, I can stick with the same bike rack I invested in, and I like that I can swap out parts on it. If it breaks or I lose something, I don't have to buy a whole new bike rack. I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, I hope this helped..

Arrived when promised. Well packed. Exact fit over 1-1/4" shank. Clear installation video. I'm using it on a non-Saris rack, but it fits and works great. One caution. I have a 1/2" dia shaft locking pin for the 1-1/4" receiver hitch on one car, but it isn't long enough to go through the 2" receiver and this adapter on the other car. So I ordered a longer locking pin (2-3/4" free shaft length) with a 1/2" dia shaft and shaft sleeve for standard 5/16" dia receiver holes. Now have locking pins for either receiver hitch, with or without adapter.

This was a much better option than buying a standard reducer for a 2" hitch (which I tried and was much looser). This part allowed the bike rack to be much more stable. Etrailer has great advice and reviews. I wish I bought my hitch from them just to give them the business.

Both our vintage bicycles weigh in at slightly over 50lbs combined. Switching to this aluminum adapter sleeve made a difference. Virtually no 'sway' while in the class III hitch and is rated for the weight for the bicycles. Great investment.

This was the perfect solution for being able to continue using my 1 1/4 bike rack. It greatly reduced unwanted movement and allowed much better stability. Product is well made.

The hitch adapter is exactly what I had hoped it would be.
It allows us to use our smaller shaft , SUV hitch hauler bike rack on our truck also. Avoiding the need to buy another hitch mounted bike rack for hundreds of dollars. Plus it avoids us needing a place to store two bike racks as opposed to one when it's not in use.
The price was competitive and fair.
The service was prompt and the adapter arrived in less then a week using normal shipping.

I ordered this 2" adapter for an older Saris Thelma 2 bicycle hitch that fit only a 1 1/4" receiver. The package arrived quickly, looks great, fits perfectly and works great. I can now use the bicycle rack in my truck's 2" receiver with confidence.

This adapter allowed me to use a 1-1/4” bike rack with a 2” receiver. Fit is perfect and the rack does not wobble after the hitch pin is tightened. Nicely made and sturdy adapter.

Didn't fit my Saris MTR bike rack, despite being described as fitting all Saris racks.
Lazer S.
11/18/2025
Sorry about that John. I just spoke with Saris and they confirmed that it will not fit their MTR racks, so we had this listed wrong (I am having our page updated). Did you want to get this returned? I did also ask Saris if there was a direct replacement for your MTR, but they said they do not have a replacement available that will fit properly. Have you tried something like the Curt Reducer Sleeve - 2" Hitch to 1-1/4" Shank # C49WQ? It may be the only real option we have available.
Lazer S.
11/19/2025
@John So I went to get a return label sent out to you, but it looks like the cost of said return label will cost more than the cost of the part, so we issued a full credit back to you. You can toss it, alter it to try and get it to work, or do whatever you please with it. : )
One last thing to check out is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR. This is a different style of reducer that extends out a bit and may be more suitable for you. If that one doesn't look like it will work either and you do end up needing a new rack, just let me know and I can get you some good options.
It would be a bummer to have to sell the rack just because it didn't fit your current hitch, but it also wouldn't be the first time I had heard of such a thing.

The adapter functions ok as an adapter but not a well as the adapter that came with the bike rack. There is some play even after the bolt that secures the rack is tightened.

This adapter is beautifully made. However, it does not work with my rack -- the bolt threads are not long enough to engage the clamp. This adapter should have been accompanied by a new, longer bolt. Without it, it's useless.

this item was exactly what i was looking for. nice machining and coating. the only bad is that it did not come with instructions for the bolt. but over all great product. would defiantly buy again and recommend to other people.

- Best Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2005 Hyundai Santa FeFor your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13505. The reason I recommend this trailer hitch for you is because the receiver tube opening is only recessed 3" behind the rear bumper so there should be absolutely no issue with using a hitch mounted bike rack. This trailer hitch is also a custom fit that does not require any drilling as it installs using pre drilled holes in the frame rail.
view full answer... - Why is There Two Holes on One Side of Saris Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve and One on Other SideThe extra hole on the side of the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris 1-1/4" Hitch Bike Racks # SA3032 that you referenced is use for attaching the adapter with the included nut and bolt to the shank of the bike rack. Basically the bolt runs through the adapter and then through the shank of the bike rack and then secured with the nut and you are set. The larger hole is then for the hitch pin of the rack.
view full answer... - Dimensions of Saris Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve SA3032 for Hitch Bike RacksThe USA-made Saris Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve # SA3032 is 5-1/2-inches long and the center of its hitch pin hole (the larger of the two) is 1-1/2-inches from the end of the sleeve. Both of these dimensions are noted on the linked photo I prepared for you. This sleeve allows installation of a Saris bike rack with a 1-1/4-inch shank in a 2-inch hitch.

- Can Any Cargo Carrier Be Used on a TrailerThe 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63155 has a fixed shank so there won't be any reason that you couldn't use it on the rear of your travel trailer. If it had a folding shank then there would be issues as the added movement from any accessory on a trailer would create problems in the pivot point for the cargo carrier. If you are looking for a trailer hitch to attach to your trailer's bumper then we do have options for you but all of them have a 2" receiver tube. For this, I recommend...

view full answer... - Hitch Bolt for Saris Bike Rack with 1-1/4 Inch Shank Using 2 Inch Receiver AdapterReplacement hitch pins are designed to be specific to your bike rack, so knowing which model you have is important to ensure you get the right hitch pin. That said, the Replacement Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for Saris Bike Racks with 1-1/4" Shanks # SA3015 will fit the Saris Bike Porter, Freedom, Axis Steel, Axis Aluminum, Cycle-On, T-Rax, Glide EX 4, and T-RAX Sport racks, which covers the majority of Saris racks and it is likely yours is one of these (just be sure to verify). This...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch Adapter for Yakima Holdup Bike Rack and Cargo CarrierThe Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris 1-1/4" Hitch Bike Racks # SA3032 is not the best option for you. There is not a shank adjustment sleeve like that for your Yakima Holdup. You would either want the 2 inch shank # 8880580 or the 1-1/4 inch shank # 8880581. An adapter sleeve just won't hold that particular rack well. The expander you referenced using like # HTAD is an option, but it will allow more sway as you mentioned and it will reduce the tongue weight capacity...
view full answer... - Adapter for Saris Freedom Bike Rack to Fit it to 2 inch HitchAccording to Saris the adapter part # SA3032 is designed to fit all of their bike racks that have shanks for a 1-1/4 inch hitch to convert them to a 2 inch hitch. There will be a bolt hole right next to the hitch pin hole of your # SA4412B. That is where the bolt goes. See picture.

- Is Saris SA3032 1-1/4 to 2 inch Hitch Adapter Threaded for Hitch PinThe # SA3032 adapter sleeve is not threaded, but the shank of the Saris bike rack (I'm assuming you mean Saris, not Solaris) is threaded. The anti-rattle hitch lock for a Saris bike rack is part # SA3022.
view full answer... - Replacement Parts for Saris Freedom 2 Bike RackYes the Replacement Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SA3015 now uses a square nut and can be purchased to replace your old one. The photo we had is out of date. The Replacement Hitch Shank for Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA20597 does not come with the Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin. If the 2" adapter has been damaged that can be replaced with Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris 1-1/4" Hitch Bike Racks # SA3032.
view full answer... - How To Adapt a Schwinn Bike Rack with a 1-1/4" Shank to a 2" Hitch ReceiverIt sounds like you have a 2" hitch and your Schwinn bike rack has a 1-1/4" shank. While the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve # SA3032 may work, it was designed for Saris bike racks that use a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter sleeve and would not have been tested with a Schwinn bike rack. I recommend that you use the Trailer Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63YR which will reduce your hitch to 1-1/4" instead of adapting the shank on your Schwinn bike rack to the hitch....
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel Straps For Saris Thelma 2 and 3 Platform Bike RackYes, we have the Replacement 22" Long Wheel Cradle Ratchet Straps # SA4424 and the Replacement Ratcheting Wheel Tray Strap # SA17158 for your Saris Thelma 2 Bike Platform Rack. We also have the Replacement Rear Wheel Tray # SA22138, Replacement Hitch Tite Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin # SA3015 and the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve # SA3032 for your bike rack.
view full answer... - Hitch Size Options for Saris Hitch Mounted Bike RacksThe Saris bike racks all use either a 2" hitch connection for a 1-1/4" hitch connection, there is no in-between. Furthermore, the 2" hitch connections are usually composed of a 1-1/4" to 2" adapter therefore this can be removed when the smaller 1-1/4" hitch connection is needed. The adapter is the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris 1-1/4" Hitch Bike Racks part # SA3032. There will not be an adapter needed to use a 1-1/4" Saris bike rack with a 1-1/4" hitch.
view full answer... - Using a Thule Bike Rack with 1-1/4 Inch Shank in a 2 Inch Trailer HitchReplacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve # SA3032 is not a confirmed fit for any Thule racks but there is another option. If your Thule bike rack is one of the following models I recommend using Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter for Thule Doubletrack, Hitching Post Pro, or Vertex Racks Item # 853-7489 and Replacement M6 x 16mm Flat Cap Screw for Thule Bike Carriers Item # 853-5787-02. These are designed to adapt a Thule 1-1/4" shank to a 2" and will not add much length or cause extra wobble....
view full answer... - Saris SuperClamp Classic Replacement Converter SleeveWe do not sell the bolt individually but we do sell the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve For Saris Bike Racks # SA3032. This will fit just like the one you have on currently and will come with a bolt! I recommend bringing the rack and or the shank into your local hardware store to find the right bolt. I could give you the measurements of the bolt but the pitch of the bolt is what will be the most important for the right fit.
view full answer... - Using A 4 Bike Carrier On A 1-1/4I have an adapter that will allow for you to use a 2" bike rack on a 1-1/4" hitch receiver, however, the Replacement Aluminum Hitch Adapter Sleeve for Saris part # SA3032 is designed for a 2" receiver. In order to mount your Saris Bike Porter Bike Rack on a 1-1/4" hitch receiver, you will need to use an adapter like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # C45785. However, the maximum number of bikes allowed to be hauled on a Class I hitch receiver is 2 and your tongue weight will...

If you have a different bike rack let me know what it is and I can see if we have the adapter for it.

- Fit of Saris Freedom Hitch Bike Carrier in 2019 Nissan Rogue HitchMany bikes racks including the Saris Freedom # SA4412B that you referenced are smartly designed so that they can be used in either a 1-1/4-inch hitch or a 2-inch hitch. The aftermarket hitches offered for your 2019 Nissan Rogue include both sizes. These 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches appear on the page I linked for you. You can measure the opening on the receiver tube to confirm which size you have (see photo, please). If you do not yet have a hitch on the Rogue and you...
