Yes. It fits both 31.8 mm and 35 mm handlebars. The cradle includes shims to ensure a secure fit on MTB and gravel bars.
No. The cradle sits forward and above the cables to avoid compression. If your bike has tight routing, angle the cradle slightly upward for extra clearance.
No. The cradle prevents the typical “bag walk” seen with strap-only systems. It keeps the load centered and stable even on rocky descents.
When choosing between the two options for your Old Man Mountain Manzanita Cradle, you should look at your bike’s handlebar setup.
-Do you have a drop-bar?
(usually a gravel or road bike)
-Do you have a flat-bar?
(usually MTB or commuter bikes)
Manzanita 9L Top Load
The top-loading bag rolls down from above, fitting neatly between narrow drop bars without getting in the way of your shifters. Opening the bag from the top makes it a little easier to dig for items without removing the bag from the cradle.
Manzanita 11L Side Load
Flat handlebars offer plenty of horizontal width, making a side-loaded rolling barrel style perfect for these handlebars. So, the side-load version can offer more load capacity, 11 liters instead of 9 liter.
