Bike Rack Similar to Swagman XTC2 that is More Stable with Less Movement

Question:

Does your Swagman work with my very old, womens 1969 Puch bicycle this is for the hitch rack. Do you recommend a 2in rack? I rarely will carry very rarely two bikes. What is actual weight of 1.25in rack vs. 2in rack? Do you know someplace in greater Jacksonville, FL, area you would recommend to purchase/install proper hitch? How much is hitch lock? Bike looks loose in video. Thanks for your help. I have a very old trunk rack that fits my 2013 Honda Fit base model, but I think I prefer hitch rack.

For a very similar bike rack to the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 that has quite a bit less movement when travelling we have the Hollywood Racks part # HR200Z. If you check out the review video you can see that it is a very stable bike rack. I looked up pictures of your bike and from what I can tell you have a standard road bike that would work well with this rack.

The weight of this rack is 39 lbs. We can easily ship this to you so that you don't have to try and find it locally. It's pretty easy to assemble and install as well.

For a hitch and cable lock setup you would want the part # HRLHPTC as well.

If you need a hitch for your 2013 Honda Fit you would then want the part # 306-X7286 which is a confirmed fit and would work well with the # HR200Z. Any local garage with a decent reputation would have no problem at all installing this.
