As for the stress on the adapter/hitch and possible failure, don't forget the hitch is designed to tow a trailer. Even a class I hitch is designed to handle much more than the 60 lbs your bike and rack might weigh. I would imagine that an adapter than can't handle that combined weight of bike and rack never would have made it past R&D into production. But then again, you never know.
