Hello Paul,

You can carry just two bikes instead of three if you like when using the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638.

That won't change it's 35 lb per-bike weight capacity though.

Hey Peter. Happy to help out. That sounds annoying, but I do have a good fix for that squeaking on the Kuat Transfer V2 #KU84FR. We recommend using a dry silicone spray lubricant or a dry PTFE (Teflon) spray on those moving parts. Try to avoid grease…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

No, I am sorry Randall. There are no wheels available that you can drill your own lug nut holes. The largest wheel we have in a 4 on 4 lug pattern is a 13" wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel item #AM20242. This wheel measures…
