Question:

Swagman 2-Bike Rack for 1-1/4inch and 2inch Hitches - Tilting Item # S63400 Will this lock work on the following bike rack? If not, why won’t it work? I would be using this bike rack in the 2” capacity.

When using the Rola TX-102 # 59400 in a 2 inch hitch you can't use a standard hitch pin lock as it has a threaded pin. The Letsgoaero lock you mentioned does not use the same threads so it would not work. Best option is to route a cable lock like the # MPG357 through the bike frames and then back to the safety chain loops of the trailer hitch.
