Converter 1-1/4 to 2 In Hitch Receiver Adapter Bicycle

Customer Review: Class II to Class III hitch, works well (not for towing)
As noted in the other review, this is only a Class 2 hitch (1-1/4") to a Class 3 hitch (2"). It is useful for mounting bike racks and cargo carriers that are all too common in 2" receiver hitch styles. This is not meant for towing. Even so, expect to safely load about 150-175 pounds of cargo using this adapter, even though it says it will accomodate 500 pounds (the standard rating of a Class III hitch). You are still bound by the weight limit of your Class II hitch and this adapter cuts that by half. It is a cheap way to use the larger accessories, which I have to use one due to my Ford Explorer having the smaller size.
Customer Review: Poor/inaccurate description of product.
Although this product has a 1 1/4" male end and a 2" female end, it will not work in a Class 1 hitch. This is because the receiver pin hole does not line up with the pin hole in the converter (due to a stopper inside the receiver). This is not disclosed in the product description. The adapter has a Class III hitch rating imprinted on it. This too is not disclosed in the product description. Note that most Class III hitches have a 2" receiver opening, thus a 1 1/4" to 2" converter would not be needed.
