How Does a Clip Work with the Threaded Hitch Pin on a Swagman Trailer Hitch Mount Bike
Updated 09/12/2013 | Published 09/11/2013
Question:
I believe I have this swagman bike carrier but dont understand the pin and clip #3130. There doesnt seem to be anywhere for the clip to attach. Could it be the wrong part? They originally sold me the wrong rack for the receiver and when I went back, was sold an ADAPTOR1 and the pin and clip.

With a threaded hitch pin, a clip is just a fail safe. When the threaded pin is properly tightened down it will not come out and so the clip is not required. I made a short video that demonstrates putting a clip on hitch pin that might help.
