Can I Use the Replacement Locking Knob on My Xport Flatbed Bike Carrier?  

Updated 12/09/2025 | Published 11/13/2025

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!

Hey Wayne, how did the Replacement Locking Knob work out on your Xport Flatbed bike carrier? Knowing how it fit could help others with older racks figure out what works best.
