Using the Yakima SingleSpeed hitch rack is easy. First, make sure to get the perfect fit according to the hitch rack fit tips. The locking SpeedKnob™ allows for a quick and simple installation. When placing your bike on the rack, use the StrongArm hook to hold it firmly by the wheels. Remember to use the integrated SKS bike lock to keep your bike secure. For maintenance, regularly check the hook and the SpeedKnob™ for any signs of wear. Keep the rack clean and dry to prevent rust and damage. Avoid over - tightening the SpeedKnob™ as it may cause damage to the rack or your bike.
