I've been looking around for a 2" hitch bike rack that locks in from the wheels. I saw the 1up Heavy Duty Rack and really like it, but it's out of stock, like everything else. Correct me if I'm wrong, since my bike doesn't have the "top bar" that connects one side of the frame to the other, I can't use a regular rack because the racks usually have a post that goes under the "top bar" of the bike to hold it and then you can strap it in.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and are there any other recommendations of a good hitch rack that I should buy? I'm actually doing more research this time around.

Thank you!
