Using a Yakima SKS on Other Products

Question

Question:

Can you provide the measurements for the larger external diameter of the pin at the end on which the lock slides, and the smaller lock groove diameter where the 3 balls of the lock grip? Why I am asking: I would like to use the Yakima lock on a #63232, so that I can keep the same SKS key for the hitch and the cable on the rack that secures the bikes. Thanks!

I have a solution for you, however, Yakima's SKS cores are only compatible with Yakima's products. You can't cross use them

Yakima does offer an SKS compatible hitch lock for its bike racks as part # Y07235 that is compatible with all Yakima pins, if the bike rack doesn't already have some form of locking hitch pin. If you want to add an anti rattle device, the replacement 2 inch kit is available as part # Y8780022

Answer 12

Yes, the Holdup for 1-1/4 inch hitches requires a different, smaller hitch pin. For that you'd need the part #Y90195 which comes with the new wrench you'd need and the smaller hitch pin for use with the #8880580.
