Hello Karl,
Great question. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Locking Hitch Pin # e43JR uses a special block that slides inside your hollow shank accessory. When you tighten the pin, the D-shaped block pulls tight against the wall of the receiver, pressing the shank firmly into place. That D-shape is what keeps the block from spinning, so it can really wedge everything together. The end result is that your hitch and receiver move as one solid piece, instead of rattling or clunking around.
What Benton bike rack do you have, and what kind of bikes? Do you have a specific trail you like to ride? We have the Katy trail here in Missouri, it is always loaded with bikes!
