Alternative Locking Option for Locking Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack
Question:
Hello I am not that crazy about the Thule locking system on this rack so I was wondering if there is something available to lock the rack to the hitch better? I always preferred the threaded lockable hitch pin as it tighten and locks better. Is there an attachment to lock the slide pin in place so it can not come out rather than relying on the spring not a fan of the taper friction lock either. Thanks Cheers

Best option might be to go with a cable lock like the part # e98891 which you could route through the bike frame and bike rack to the safety chain loops of the trailer hitch.
