Here you can see how to install the Axle Pack

Axle Pack is designed to mount to our Thru Axle Fit Kits. If you do not have one of our thru axle fit kits you can find the right one for your bike using the Bike Finder >>

Load capacity is 10 kgs per pair.

Tools you will need:

STEP 1: Install the fit kit thru-axle

FRIENDLY REMINDER: Be sure to always keep your hex tools aligned with the hex broach. Inserting and torquing tools at an angle can damage tools and parts.

STEP 2: Attach the Axle Pack to the axle

• Attach your Axle Pack to the axle with the 20mm hex bolts from Hardware Kit 4. Don’t forget to apply anti-seize (preferred) or grease to all bolts.
• Don’t worry about torquing the bolts down now as we will do that at the end after installing the Mounting Puck.

STEP 3: Attach mounting pucks

If your fork has upper eyelets that line up, you can use them to attach the top of the Axle Pack if you want. If your fork does not have upper eyelets use the Pucks provided with your Fit Kit.

• Bolt the Mounting Puck to your Axle Pack at or near center of the top slot of the Axle Pack using Hardware Kit #6 or #7, depending on which came with your Fit Kit.
  • We recommend mounting the puck as high as possible.
  • Puck A will use the 10mm spacer between the Axle Pack and the Puck.
  • If Puck B or C seems too far away from your fork you may need to use the included 10mm spacer between the Axle Pack and the Puck.

• With the Puck attached to the Axle Pack you can rotate it in line with your fork to see where it will attach, and where to install the clear protective tape.

Note: You will want to trim the tape so that it will not overlap BEFORE sticking it to your bike.

– PUCK A should be installed with the hex nut slot facing your wheel.
– PUCK B needs to have the threaded barrel inserted into the Puck before attaching it to the fork. The chamfer on the threaded barrel should face the fork.
– PUCK C should be installed with the brass insert against the fork.

Pro Tip: Putting the ZipTies, head down in a cup of hot water will soften them and help them install even easier.

STEP 4: Final check and hardware tightening

Tighten up all the hardware to the following specifications:

• Puck B = 6 Nm
• Puck A and C = 3 Nm
• Bolts attaching Axle Pack to the axle = 3nm
• Give the zip ties one more pull with a pair of pliers, then cut flush. (Nail clippers work well for a very flush cut).

Always double check all hardware and parts before each ride!

GOOD JOB! YOU'RE NOW READY TO RIDE.
We are excited to be a part of your biking adventures. Thank you for using Old Man Mountain Racks!

We are always happy to see how the rack looks when mounted on Your bike. So if you feel like it, please send us a picture of the rack and your bike.
This will also help other customers visualize how the rack will work for them on their bikes.

Look up your bike in our Bike Finder or send us an email. Our axle substitutes your bike's axle, so it is important that the thread pitch is the same.
