Question:
I have an older xport flatbed brand bike carrier - hitch mounted, carries two bikes. Will this knob fit the hold-down hook clamp bolts?

Hello Wayne,
Great question. Based on my research the Replacement Locking Knob for Swagman Roof Mounted, Upright Bike Carrier # P1030 accepts a 5/16" threaded bolt, and your Xport Flatbed bike carrier should have 5/16"-18 UNC thread size.
Yes, the Replacement Locking Knob for Swagman Roof Mounted, Upright Bike Carrier # P1030 will work on your Xport Flatbed bike carrier.
What kind of bikes do you have? Do you have a specific trail you like to ride? We have the Katy Trail near by here in Missouri and it is always loaded with riders!
