Question:
Does this work to secure the Thule Pace 2 to the stealth hitches 2” I bought from you? If not, what are the options to have a redundant safety besides the expansion lever built in the Pace 2?

Hey Luis!
The auto-snapping pin on the Thule OutPace Bike Rack # TH39SA will prevent the use of a locking hitch pin like the Snug Tite # THSTL2, but that's not a bad thing.
This system that Thule uses on almost all of their bike racks is one of the best on the market, really. Once you get the anti-rattle device snugged up so the rack doesn't move, the bike rack is literally impossible to remove from the vehicle unless it's broken.
For extra security, you can use a cable lock like the Thule # TH538XT and discourage theft by wrapping it in and among the bikes and the rack.
Does that help you out with your security problem at all?
