Question:

Hello. Im using a bike rack which can be used both on 1 1/4 inch and 2inch hitches. I have a 2hitch installed on my car so I have to use the adapter included with the bike rack. Does this lock can be used with it? Thank you

Expert Reply:

I imagine your bike rack has a shank designed for a 1-1/4 inch receiver with a sleeve that can be used to adapt it to a 2 inch receiver, is that correct?

If this is the case, unfortunately the # 63232 will not work for you, because the threaded block would not fit into the shank of your bike rack. You could however use a standard locking hitch pin like part # e98882 along with an an anti-rattle system like the # RM-061. I personally use the # RM-061 when I tow my PWCs, and they work great.

I have linked you to a product demonstration video for the anti-rattle device and the hitch pin.
