Can the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Lock Be Used with a Graber All-Star 2-Bike Rack
Question:
I have a Graber All-Star 2-bike rack that fits either 1-1/4inch or 2inch receivers by means of an adapter block. Since the rack without the adapter is 1-1/4, all of its bolt holes are 1/2inch diameter. My hitch receiver, though, is 2inch and will require use of the adapter block. Will SHP2082 function properly in this setup i.e., long enough, thin enough, wont allow the bike rack to sway ridiculously, etc.? Will the spring-nut setup fit inside the 1-1/4inch shank of the bike rack? Might I have to remove a spacer from SHP2082 in order to make this work?

As long as your Graber All-Star 2-bike rack doesn't have a threaded shank the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Accessories Lock # SHP2082 is the perfect product for your application!
It is compatible with 1-1/4", 2", and 2-1/2" hitch receivers so you know that it is long enough, thin enough, and the block insert and CAM action handle help to provide the extra stability that you're looking for.
