A Message from North Shore Racks
After 22 years, North Shore Racks has closed its warehouse and is taking a pause from operations.
The changing landscape of the cycling industry, rising costs, and ongoing tariff challenges have made this a natural time for us to step back and reassess the future of the business.
We plan to use this opportunity to explore new ideas, potential innovations, and ways to move forward.
We are incredibly grateful to our customers and the cycling community for your support and loyalty over the past 22 years.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

Description
All 2″ hitch model racks come with our anti-rattle lockable hitch pin, which we manufacture in house. Our XL Anti-Rattle Pins have been developed specifically for large 3″ super duty hitches using a reducer, as well as non-standard boxed in hitches unique to 2025 Toyotas or newer.
In the past we’ve used various offshore suppliers for these and all have had their problems: integrated lock designs prone to seizing as well as being easily defeated by thieves due to their soft steel. Our new pins are made from a hardened grade 8 steel, use a welded bracket, and are lockable with any padlock or coupling lock which uses a 1/4″ shackle.
