Bike Rack Recommendation for Allowing Trailer to Be Towed with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
Question:
Do you have a bike rack for two bikes that will fit on my 1 1 /4inch hitch AND allow a trailer to be towed at the same time may need some adapters to accomplish this?

If it's an A-frame trailer you could use the # CC-275 as a way to carry your bike rack. This will hold the bike rack on the trailer frame which will free up your hitch to allow you to tow the trailer.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.
