It’s engineered specifically for Swagman racks that use a 1-1\/4\" threaded receiver bar (or when a 1-1\/4\" to 2\" adapter is installed). Built for corrosion resistance and ease of use, the pin’s tubular high-security key unlocks with a half turn and the braided cable threads through frames and around rack components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this locking pin fit my hitch and rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a Swagman universal bike rack that uses a 1-1\/4\" threaded receiver bar, this locking hitch pin is made for that fit. It can also be used when a 1-1\/4\" to 2\" adapter is fitted to your 2\" receiver. Do not use this pin in non-Swagman racks unless they explicitly accept 1-1\/4\" threaded receiver bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size: 12 BSW threading compatible with Swagman 1-1\/4\" receiver bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePin diameter: 1\/2\" (threaded) for secure mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdapter compatibility: Works when a 1-1\/4\" to 2\" adapter is present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot universal — only with racks designed for 1-1\/4\" threaded bars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow secure are the cable and locking mechanism?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is a 6.5 to 7-foot long, 10mm braided steel line that threads through bike frames and anchors to the locking hitch pin, deterring opportunistic theft.

This locking hitch pin and cable set is intended for Swagman rack owners who need a purpose-built security solution for 1-1\/4\" threaded receiver bars. It’s ideal for cyclists who transport one or more bikes regularly and want a durable, corrosion-resistant option that’s easy to operate. Do not purchase if your rack is a non-Swagman model without a compatible 1-1\/4\" threaded bar; consult your rack manual or Swagman support for fit confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this pin in a 2\" receiver without an adapter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The pin fits 1-1\/4\" threaded receiver bars; use a 1-1\/4\" to 2\" adapter for 2\" receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How long is the security cable and what thickness is it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The security cable is about 6.5–7 feet long and 10mm thick, braided steel for strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Swagman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67587439100089,"sku":"B000SLHU2W","price":102.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/swagman-locking-hitch-pin-front-view.jpg?v=1790508074","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/swagman-locking-hitch-pin-security-cable-for-1-1-4-hitch-racks-10mm-braided-cable-tubular-lock","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
