Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Ball mount with 2 Inch Receiver will work great for you as long as you do not exceed the 500 lb tongue weight capacity. Since the tongue weight of a trailer is calculated as being 10 to 15 percent of the loaded trailer weight, we will figure your tongue weight is a maximum of 255 lbs. This would mean that anything used on the receiver could weigh no more than the 350 pound limit of the receiver. The typical bicycle weighs around 30-35 lbs, and the 4 bike racks that we offer all weigh between 25 and 60 lbs.
