Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look at this Yakima Replacement Tongue Assembly. This is going to replace the shank for your Yakima DoubleDown ACE one and a quarter inch or two inch Mounted Bike Racks. And on your screen for your reference, I am including the model numbers of those bike racks for you. And this includes everything that you see here on the table before me.
Let me go over the pieces here. You are going to obviously get the tongue assembly here. You're going to get the shank adapter for converting the one and a quarter inch shank on your rack to two inch hitches, so this is included. And you're also going to get the eight millimeter screw that you see there, along with the wrench that is going to allow you to loosen that and tighten that up. Then you're going to get this control key.
Let me lift that up here so you can see it. The control key is included and then you are going to receive this pull pin and it does have a safety lanyard, so you can't easily misplace that pull pin. And then the anti-rattle knob that you see right here. And so this shank is exactly like the one that you are needing to replace. This is the direct replacement from Yakima.
So what that means for you is you can trust that this is going to fit right in place of the original, whether it somehow got damaged or maybe over time it somehow got misplaced. You're not gonna have to worry about compatibility issues, fitment issues or anything like that. (knocking on metal) So if you are needing to replace the shank for your DoubleDown ACE one and a quarter inch or two inch hitch mounted bike racks, this is going to be exactly what you need. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Replace the shank on your Yakima DoubleDown Ace hitch mounted bike rack. Included adapter sleeve allows the shank to be used in 1-1/4" or 2" hitches.I was desperate to get a replacement as the rattle control knob on my original rack became disengaged inside the knob and wouldn't tighten (no access to repair). I was leaving for vacation on Thursday and ordered on Monday with two day delivery. It came just in time and I can leave as scheduled tomorrow morning. Replacing the old with the new was easy - one bolt to attach to mast and the SKS blank provided allowed me to use the lock from the broken unit.
This part of our Yakima rack took the brunt of a rear-end car accident and saved the bumper from damage. I'm glad Yakima is still making the replacement part.
The crew at etrailer.com was very helpful - the part was on back order, and they sent me several emails and followed up with a phone call to be sure I knew what was going on. Great service!
This product was just as ordered. I bought a used bike rack and needed the hitch connection. The only place I trust to get parts right. Now I need to order a hitch for my Ford Flex and I will order it from etrailer
This is absolutely the finest company that I have had to pleasure to do business with over the years. Lori was terrific in handling my emergency and I had the parts I needed in a very short time. Thank you
Solid replacement part!
Placing the parts order was quick and easy. The order shipped the next day and was delivered 2 days later. Everything worked perfectly, could not ask for better service.
Saved me from having to buy a complete new rack!
As expected Yakima quality.
