Love My Hitch.

A Tip I learned on this forum that made a huge difference on my hitch:
If your SuperGlide has a little bang when stopping and starting; Get a bicycle inner tube, cut 4 pieces about 4" long, cut a slot in each for the hitch mounting tabs to fit through, place them between the rails and hitch. No more bang.

Thought I would share.

I know the bang,happens to me.I know where the problem is,the four mounting tabs that move slightly when starting and stopping.Im trying to figure exactly how you are using the inner tube.Are you putting the inner tube pieces ontop of the fiver brackets on your frame and then sticking the pins through them? Just cant wrap my head around your description.

The inner tube goes between the rails and hitch base where the tabs go through the rails. It tightened that junction to where the pins are difficult to push in and pull out.

You may be right! I was thinking it was the front of the hitch base lifting up and the pins hitting the bottom of the rails but it is most likely the hitch base sliding back and forth, tabs hitting rails.

I can't take credit for this mod. I read it here first :)
