Replacement Hitch Pin and SpeedKnob Lock for Yakima RidgeBack Hanging Bike Racks
Question:
Will this work with my Yakima ridgeback? I only have a hole for the small hitch pin
asked by: Lori P
Expert Reply:
The Yakima RidgeBack 2-Bike # Y02457, 4-Bike # Y02458, and 5-Bike # Y02459 hanging racks use a bike of a different system than your standard hitch pin so you'll need something other than the HitchLock # Y07235 which fits more of the standard style of hitch pins.
To replace the rack lock on your RidgeBack you need the Replacement SpeedKnob and Wedge Assembly # 8880508 which locks the rack to your vehicle. If you're needing to also replace the hitch pin then that would be part # 889-0231 on our site.
