Question:
Hi, See discussion below, but Bob G recommended using the HT02 adapter for the 1.25 hitch to the 2 inch rack. Will I still be able to put two bikes on the rack after that? I will use the new Yakima Holdup 2. Thanks, ================================== Parts Needed to Convert an Older Yakima HoldUp 2 inch Bike Rack to a 1-1/4 inch Class II Hitch Setup Question: I purchased an Acura 2010 RDX which only has a 1.25 stock Acura hitch. I own the gray Yakama holdup 2 bike rack. I wish to convert my 2 to a 1.25 with out using an adaptor. Where could I purchase a 1.25 base to switch with my 2 base. Can they interchange the bases. asked by: Patrick C Expert Reply: I spoke with my contact at Yakima and there is a replacement shank for your older Yakima Holdup 2 Bike rack , item # Y02433. The 1-1/4 inch Hitch Adapter for Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Carrier, item # Y80126 , can be used to convert your rack to a Class II hitch mounted bike rack. You will need to check the hitch on your Acura RDX to be sure it can accept Class II accessories. There is not an adapter available for the HoldUp that will fit in a Class I hitch. If you would like to retain the use of the rack for a 2 inch hitch, without changing out the shank, you could use the Hitch Adapter 2 inch to 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # HT02 , expert reply by: Bob G
