The Stromberg Carlson BC-202 carries two bicycles on an adjustable platform rack fitted to a 2-inch hitch receiver. Use the manufacturer's exploded drawing to identify the frame, folding shank, wheel cradles, J-hooks and straps before looking for a replacement.

The last page of the Stromberg Carlson manual shows the numbered components and their quantities. Earlier pages explain how to join the platform tubes, mount the shank, position the wheel cradles and secure each bicycle.

Stromberg Carlson replacement-part numbers
Stromberg Carlson lists the following components for its BC platform-rack family. Compare your original part and BC-202 assembly position before selecting a replacement.
If a component is not linked on NewRVParts, provide its exact number when asking about availability. The optional BC-2FT fat-tire adapter is a separate accessory for tires wider than the standard wheel cradle.
Mounting and bicycle loading
Install the rack in a suitable 2-inch receiver with the specified stabilizing pin, washers and retaining clip. Adjust the left and right wheel cradles to support both tires, lower the long and short J-hooks over the bicycle frames, and fasten all four wheel-cradle straps. The manual directs owners to remove bicycles before operating the tilt-down mechanism.
