Using a 2" Thule T2 Classic Bike Rack With a 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
Hello, I owned a Thule T2 classic, it is for a 2 inch hitch, I need one for a 1 1/4 inch hitch, I saw that you just sell the one with the hinge on it, I just need the part that makes it possible to put it in the 1 1/4 inch hitch, is it possible that I can purchase just that one part without perchasing the whole assembly. Thank you

I do have a recommendation for you as Thule only offers the Replacement 1-1/4" Hitch and Backbone Assembly # 753370902 for changing your Thule T2 Classic 2" to a 1-1/4".
You can use either a Straight Adapter # e43YR or Rise Adapter # HT5R to adapt your 1-1/4" hitch to carry the 2" bike rack. Do note that the adapter will reduce the tongue weight rating on your receiver by 50%. So if you have a tongue weight rating of 350lbs you will have to stay 175lbs or below for the adapter.
