Locking a Bell Bike Carrier to a Trailer Hitch
Question:
Would this work on a Bell 4 bike hitch rack 1 1/4? It has attachments for the 2inch but I only use the 1 1/4.

I do have a solution but the SportRack lock is not going to work. To lock the rack to the hitch I recommend using a cable lock such as # e98891.
You will need to use a lock made by Bell for your Bell bike carrier if it requires a threaded hitch bolt. The issue is that bike rack manufacturers give their locks unique threads so they are not interchangeable with other racks. While it is possible that some carriers will be threaded the same I have no way to test any of the ones we have with a Bell bike carrier.
