About
the Racks
Will the rack fit my bike? Do I need a Fit Kit? Which Fit Kit? What is included? Why should I axle mount a rack? Why a rack and not just bags?
Below find a quick answer to some of the most common questions we receive.
Made in the USA?
-
The Old Man Mountain Sherpa has been made in the USA since the company was founded back in 1996. The axle is still made in the USA, but the frame of the new Divide, Elkhorn, Pizza Rack, Impala Lowrider and Axle Pack is made in Asia.
Design, product testing in real life conditions are made in California and Oregon.
Do I need a fit kit for the rack?
-
No and yes. Gravel and fat bikes probably have eyelets, MTB bikes don't. The racks include everything to mount to the eyelets of the frame. Front or Rear. So if your frame has eyelets you do not need a fit kit. However, if your bike does not have eyelets or if you just want the benefits of an axle mount, then you need a fit kit. There are benefits of axle mountin. read the next question...
What is the benefit of an axle mounted rack?
-
Well, first of all, every bike has a wheel and a center of a wheel, so this allows us to mount Old Man Mountain racks on pretty much any bike with a thru axle. Additionally, there are a few other benefits:
- All the weight is carried on the axle, which is the most secure, durable and lowest mounting point on the bike.
- On eyelet-mounted racks, the bolts are in shear, which is fairly weak when stressed over time. Our axles provide a physical interface for the rack that is far stronger for carrying load.
- Axle mounted racks can be used on suspension bikes and require no adjustment to suspension settings.
Ok, I need a fit kit. But which and what is included?
-
The Fit Kit includes pucks, zip ties, clear protective tape and a new QR or axle. The axle susbstitutes the original axle of your bike so it is important that they have the same thread pitch. If you do not know the thread pitch of your axle our Bike Finder can help you. Still not sure? Send us an email and we will try to help you.
Is the Bike Finder up to date?
-
We try our best to keep the Bike Finder updated and in 99.9% of the cases we are spot on. But bike manufacturers can change the configuration of a bike from one year to another or even from one model to another. So it is always a good idea to double check the two axles before you mount the rack.
Why would I use a cargo rack instead of soft bikepacking bags?
We don't think it is an either/or situation. Racks can compliment bikepacking bags, and vice versa. But we do think there are advantages to racks:
