Question:
Hi Bud M: I have a Bauer trailer hitch mounted bike rack and need a new locking Knob with Bolt for SportRack Single-Arm, Hitch-Mounted Bike Carriers p/n SR0018. However the thread length is 2-1/4inch and I think that this is too short to secure the bike frame pads to the support tube nut. Is there a locking knob with a longer thread length? Thanks

Hey Chris,
We have a few other options to choose from but without knowing the dimensions of original bolt I can't confirm fitment.
Surco Products # SPN-104 - 3-1/2" long x 3/8" in diameter with 16 threads per inch
Thule # TH93NW - 3-7/16" long bolt that has a 3/8" diameter and 24 threads per inch (fine thread)
Hollywood Racks # HLY59RR - 3" long x 5/16" diameter bolt with 18 threads per inch
If you can get me the dimensions of the original bolt I can see if we might have something else that can work.

Hey Chris, were you able to measure the original bolt for your Bauer bike rack? Once you have those dimensions, I can help confirm which locking knob will give you the right thread length. Let me know what you find so we can narrow it down.
