Replacement Adapter For Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack And 2 Inch Receiver

Question

Question:

I am looking at this hitch adapter for my Thule 934pro bike rack. My rack has a 1 1/4inch hitch and my car has a 2inch hitch receiver. Is this the right product? I ask because you say it fits the 934 bike rack, but I cant find a product that is just 934... If not, would you please direct me to the correct sleeve/reducer/adapter? thank you!

For your Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH934XTR, it sounds like you are missing the 2 inch hitch adapter. This adapter is the Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter for Thule Doubletrack, Hitching Post Pro, or Vertex Racks - Qty 1 # 853-7489 you referenced. You will also want the Replacement M6 x 16mm Flat Cap Screw for Thule Bike Carriers # 853-5787-02 to secure that adapter in place.

If you don't already have it, I recommend the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device # THSTL2 that will secure this rack in place nice and tight as well as deter theft.

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

I have a solution for you. You can't convert the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack #TH23JV to a 2 inch hitch according to my contact at Thule so you will need to use an adapter. I recommend using the Brophy Hitch Reducer 2" to…

I checked with my contact at Thule and verified that the Thule replacement hitch bolt you are looking for is part #908-1240-54. It is a 12 x 40mm hex bolt with a property class of 8.8. It should be installed with M12 washer, #951-1224-54, and M12…

Answer 5

For the version of the Thule T2 bike rack that you have TH9035XT the only solution you have is the #HT02 since a replacement shank isn't currently available. For a hitch lock to use with this I would go with the #63232 which also acts as an…

Answer 8

The small hole on the adapter part #853-7489 that the screw part #853-5787-02 goes into is not threaded. However, the hole on the stinger of your Thule Doubletrack TH990XT is threaded which you can see in the attached photo.

Answer 9

I do have a solution for you but adapter #853-7489 does not fit the T2 TH9045. What you can use (and what is basically the same thing only it doesn't attach to the bike carrier) is a reducer sleeve, #HT02. Pin the reducer into the hitch receiver…
