Question:

I have an older Yakima 2 bike rack. The holes for the hitch pin are two different sizes. The hitch pin I got with the hitch itself will not go through the Yakima rack. It will go through one hole and not the other. It is a 1.25inch hitch. Can you tell me the diameter of this locking hitch pin so I can determine if it will run through both my hitch and the Yakima rack that hooks up to it? If not, do you have another solution. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

The diameter of the pin on the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879 is 1/2 inch.

I spoke with my contact at Yakima to learn more about your bike rack. The rack you have is a ROC 1.25. This bike rack is designed to use a threaded hitch bold. For a replacement threaded hitch bole you will want part # Y8890176. This is the hitch pin that is designed and recommend for use with the ROC bike rack.
