Using a Reducer Sleeve to Carry a 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack in a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
Question:
I have an older model Thule Helium Aero rack with 1 1/4inch hitch. Is there an adaptor that I can buy to fit it to a 2inch hitch on my 2011 Ford Edge?

Expert Reply:
What you will need to use your Helium bike rack in a 2 inch trailer hitch is a reducer sleeve, # HT02. You would insert the sleeve into the hitch and pin it in place. Then you would mount the bike rack in the 1-1/4 inch end as if it were the hitch receiver. I have linked a video review of this reducer sleeve for you.
