Question:

im curious about the vertical tube diameter on the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4inch and 2inch Trailer Hitches S64650. I currently have a rack and am wondering if the P186 will fit on my current 1 1/4inch vertical tube. Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The replacement part you referenced, Swagman Replacement Ratcheting Hook Set for Swagman XTC and XC Series Bike Carriers, part # P186, works on their XC and XTC bike racks as a replacement hook to secure the bikes on the carrier. This fits over the 1-1/8-inch x 1-1/8-inch vertical post used on these two racks. The vertical post has "teeth" or threads cut into two of the opposing corners; this is what the ratcheting hook holds onto.

Like many bike racks parts these are application-specific for just two Swagman bike racks. Many other racks include parts, such as anti-rattle bolts, that are incompatible with components from other brands.

Please feel free to let me know the brand and part number of your rack. We may be able to find you the correct replacement part.
