Replacement Hitch Bolt for Bell HitchBiker 4-Bike Bike Rack
Question:
Hi! I have a Bell Hitchbiker 4 bike hitch mounted rack. It is the smaller hitch size with a sleeve for adapting it to the 2-inch hitch. It came with a bolt with a kotter pin and a tapered tip for attaching a lock my Yakima SKS lock worked great. The bolt disappeared after we ped my kid off at school. It probably fell on the ground where they pulled the rack out of the hitch. Id like to replace the part. Do you have anything like it? I think its 1/2”-13x3.75” Thanks!

It sounds like you have the Bell HitchBiker 450. Assuming you are correct and the previous bolt had a 1/2" - 13 thread pitch you can likely use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock # SR0901 as a replacement. However, I cannot confirm that this fits since it has not been tested.
Bike manufacturers use different threads for their hitch pins so it can be difficult to replace them without a direct replacement part. The other option would be to drill out the threads and use an anti-rattle lock like the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232.
