Like Jason, I found out that this lock does not offer any security as I am able to remove the pin from the lock with my bare hands. Looks good and strong, it is not.

Purchased this for my Xport hitch bike rack. Does the job. Probably not needed, but gives me peace of mind.

I bought this to use with the XPORT Flatbed 2-Bike Hitch Rack sold by Performance and it did the job. I have not had any problems with it. I am just glad that it allows me to lock my rack.

This lock is just what I needed, it secures my XSport flatbed hitch rack perfectly,
with no modifications. Just replace the pin, lock it, and go. It's well made, sturdy, and easy to use.
After reading on the bike forums how many of these pricey bike racks
are stolen, I started looking for a lock. The XSport rack is configured so that regular rack locks won't fit. Then I read about this lock, but could not find it in stores, not even in our local bike shops. So glad Amazon carries unique items like this!

This locking pin broke the first time I used it to secure my new hitch basket to the hitch post. It worked fine in terms of securing the basket to the vehicle and preventing any rattling. It was also very easy to use. You simply thread the pin into the hole, tighten it down (this prevents any movement of the attached rack or basket) and push the locking side onto the end of the pin. When I got to my destination I pulled on the locking end just on a hunch to test whether or not it was secure, and the locking end pulled off. Now I know I'm not THAT strong, so I unthreaded the pin and pressed the end of the pin back onto the locking end. Again, I was able to pull it off with little effort. I made the return trip home with just the pin holding the basket on the hitch, and it held great. But, if you can't lock it, it defeats the purpose of purchasing this all together. I wrote an e-mail to Lex Crosett at "Racks For All" which was the store that sent the item. Mr. Crosett wrote me back quickly and told me that he would send my a brand new pin. I received the new item a few days later and I sent him the defective one. Great customer service in my opinion. We will have to see how the new one holds up. So far so good with testing the locking mechanism using just my own strength to pull it off.
