Expert Reply:
According to Swagman, the 1/4 hole on # P186 Grip Arms found on the Swagman XC bike racks, like # S64650, should not be used with any type of lock. The hole is just there because that is where they hang the part when it gets powder coated.
Instead, we recommend using a cable lock, # S64031, for Swagman bike racks that fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitches, or # S64030, for the Swagman racks that are for 2 inch hitches only.
