An idea? What if I were to purchase a 10 or 12 foot bike cable, and after I've mounted both bikes (or one bike) on the rack, what if I threaded the cable through the tire arm clamps, and through both bike frames, pulled the cable tight, and then secured the cable with a lock or using the racks locking mechanism? Because if I threaded a long cable through the tire arm clamps and through the frame of the bikes, and pulled the cable taut before locking it, then the tire arm clamps can't be released without me unlocking the cable, which means the bikes can't be removed as well? And after I've threaded the cable, and to make sure it's tight enough so that the tire arm clamps can't be released, I could wrap any excess cabling around the bike's frame until it's taut before locking it, but not too tight where it would damage the tire arm clamps, but just tight enough that the tire arm clamps can't be released? What do you think?
Great rack BUT how do we secure the bike rack to the vehicle to protect from theft? Seems silly to secure the bike to a rack with a lock but not even secure the rack to the vehicle.....Someone could come right along and just twist the safety pin and take it all. Help!!
Sorry that is giving you trouble. It will fit with a 1 1/4" receiver. The pin has a notch in it that has to line up with the notch inside the bike rack shank, so make sure everything is lined up perfectly and twist the pin as you are pushing it in to get the notches lined up correctly. Hopefully this helps!
