Video Transcript for The Low-Down on the Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com Today, we're gonna take a look at this Replacement 2" Shank for pre-2008 Swagman XC Series 2-Bike Carriers. Now, this part here will replace the shank on your Swagman XC Series 2-Bicycle Carriers manufactured before 2008. On this end, right here, has a threaded hitch pinhole when you install it into your vehicle's hitch receiver. And it includes this threaded pin and clip to secure this bike rack to the trailer hitch receiver and help eliminate any rattle. Basically what you would do, once this installs into your shank, you go ahead and thread this pin in. And once you get it threaded all the way in, then you clip it on the other end.
And as we mentioned, the application for this part is the Swagman XC Series 2x Carriers that we're manufactured before 2008. It is designed to fit into a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver. And the last thing, just want to give you the length on this. We measure from one end to the other. That's right at 19 and 1/8 inches long.
But that should do it for the review on this Replacement 2" Shank for the pre-2008's Swagman XC Series 2-Bike Carriers.

This replaced the original that I had to modify for another RV. Was very pleased to find I could just replace the 2”tube and not the entire rack. Shipped very promptly and well packaged.

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.

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.

- Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers No, I am sorry there is not. Since you have a the Swagman Traveler XC2 the only option is the Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers item # P249 if your bike rack was made before 2008. If your bike rack was made afterwards then all we have is item # P306. The Replacement 2" Shank item # SP329 is designed specifically for the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack item # S64665. If you have any additional questions go ahead and throw them into the comment box below.
view full answer... - How Long is Replacement 2 Inch Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike Carriers, # P249I 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.

- Availability of Replacement Straight Shanks for Swagan XCS Traveler S64664 Bike RackAccording 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.
view full answer... - How Thick Is the Steel on the Replacement 2" Shank for Swagman XC Series 2 Bike CarriersAccording 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.
view full answer... - Adding an Anti-Rattle Device to Replacement Swagman Bike Rack Shank for 2 Inch Trailer HitchesThe 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.
view full answer... - Availability of Swagman Replacement Parts P249 and P5901We do have the part # P249 and the part # P5901 that you are looking for!
view full answer... - Can Shank # P249 be Used with Swagman Traveler XCS # S64664 when Not Using it on an RVYou 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.
view full answer... - Replacement Shank Recommendation for a Swagman S64663 Bike RackWe do offer just a replacement shank for the Swagman Bike Rack part # S64663 that you have. For that you would want the part # P249.

Yes, that is definitely a sigh of relief right there! What about the RV made you have to modify the shank, if I may ask? :)
