Solution for Needing Replacement Parts for Rhode Gear Bike Rack
Question:
We were given an 18 year old Rhode Gear bike trailer for kids. We did not get the hitch receiver that mounts on the bicycle rear wheel axle. I include a picture of the hitch arm and its coupler end. If it makes more sense, perhaps I could purchase the whole hitch arm with more modern hitch hardware.

Expert Reply:
Your picture didn't make it through, but Rhode Gear has been discontinued for such a long time that we don't have any replacement parts for their racks. Sounds like you need a shank for the rack which I know we won't be able to get.
Your best option is to go with a new bike rack like the Curt # C18085, or the 4 bike # S63381 which our customers really like and is priced great.
