Expert Reply:
If you have a hitch-mounted bike rack like the Curt 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18085 with a 2-inch sleeve, it will not make any noticeable difference as far as wobble if you get a hitch specially designed to only fit your 1-1/4 inch hitch (without the adapter sleeve). One of the great features of the Curt 2 rack is that it comes with a anti-wobble hitch pin that reduces movement and noise in the hitch. This hitch pin offers extra support to your hitch when installed in your hitch receiver.
