RidgeBack Adapter For Hitch
Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/01/2024
Question:
I am having difficulty finding the correct 2 adapter for my Yakima Ridgeback tilt 4 place bike rack. The adapter I see on your site is for a newer model as mine doesnt have a screw hole in the wedge block. Per the video, I suspect I need part 8890298, however, I cannot locate that on your site. Do you carry the adapter for older models? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Hello Sarah, the 8890298 you mentioned was discontinued 2-1/2 years ago so it isn't available any longer. I will say it also had the hole in the wedge block though; unfortunately we do not offer any other adapters for your rack.
