Recommended Way to Mount Yakima Hold-Up 2 Bike Rack into a 2 Inch Hitch
Question:
Is there a way I can mount this bike rack on my 2 inch towing hitch?
asked by: Craig T
Expert Reply:
To mount the Yakima Hold-Up 1-1/4 inch Bike Rack # Y02445 into a 2 inch receiver you will need a hitch reducer like the Brophy # HT02.
This hitch reducing sleeve will not reduce the tongue weight capacity like other adapters will and it has a maximum tongues weight of 300lbs. You will be reduced to your lowest rated component which may be the reducer in this case. I've linked a video of this for you to check out.
I have linked both products to this page for your purchasing convenience.
