Protect your frame and increase load capacity

Protect your frame by mounting the rack to the axle of the bike. The axle is stronger and this way you also increase the load capacity of the rack. We have fit kits for almost any bike, just select the one you need for your bike.

Fit Kits

Our Fit Kits take the weight off your frame and moves it to the axle; the part of your bike that’s designed to be super stiff and carry a ton of weight. The fit kit includes a new axle that substitutes the original axle of your bike. So, it is important to know the thread pitch and length of your axle. If you don’t know the specs of your axles, our Bike Finder can help you identify which fit kit you need. CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE BIKE FINDER  →

Do I need a fit kit for the Divide?

No and yes. The Divide comes ready to be mounted to the eyelets of the frame. 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.

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.

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.

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.
