Today we are going to show you part number Y02423 from Yakima. This is their DoubleDown 2 Bicycle Rack. This is a bicycle rack that will fit both 2-inch receivers, as shown here, and also 1-1/4 inch receiver hitches. A couple of nice features about this rack: it has all steel construction, it does tilt down, and the arms also tilt up and down for storage and for carrying bikes. These are tools that help you assemble the bicycle rack and install it on your trailer hitch. It also has a little Allen key, here. What this Allen key does is, it allows you undo the bolts so you can convert it from a 1-1/4 inch to a 2-inch receiver hitch. We will go ahead and show you how to do that next. It goes right here. Undo this bolt, take off the bushing, and there you have it - it is ready to go for 1-1/4 inch receiver hitch. We will go ahead and show you the details of this bicycle rack a little closer now.

This is their hitch-mounted bicycle carrier. This is their DoubleDown 4 Bike Carrier. We will cover some of the features of this bicycle rack. First off, this is a four-bike bicycle rack, and it does come standard with anti-sway cradles, and it does tilt down out of the way to get in the back of your SUV. And also, is is convertible between the 2-inch receiver and the 1-1/4 inch receiver. And we will show you how you do that, next. It is pretty simple. You have this bushing right here that works in a 2-inch receiver, and to convert it back down to 1-1/4 inches for a Class II receiver, you undo this bolt right here. And there you have it, it is ready for a Class II receiver hitch. In our application, we are going to use it on a Class III receiver hitch, so we will reinstall the bushing. Also included in the bicycle rack are these three tools here. They help you assemble the bicycle rack, which is really easy. There are like, two or three bolts that you have to put together. And then it comes with a tool here, that you can use to tighten down the hitch bolt on the bicycle rack - plus the Allen wrench for the bushing.
