Old Man Mountain
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 28 เม.ย. 2020
Old Man Mountain bicycle cargo racks are the most versatile racks around. Started in 1996, these were the first racks to fit full suspension bikes. Old Man Mountain racks are built to fit all types of bikes - mountain bikes, gravel bikes, road bikes, fat bikes, e-bikes, even tri-bikes if you really want to. Great for bikepacking, bike touring, and commuting.
Fix A Flat with an Axle Mounted Rack?
Could it really be this easy? It might be the most common question we get when people find out about our axle mounting option for bikes that don't have rack eyelets; "What do I do if I get a flat?!"
In this video Rachael will show you how easy it is to swing your axle mounted rack out of the way and remove your wheel.

How to Install a Classic Rack on Your Mountain Bike
Why are you removing a wheel to fix a flat? Just use a tubeless plug, what is this 1992?
So if I have a quick release fork, is it possible to mount the rails onto an eyelet next to the quick release? The one that's designed for installing fenders...
Why not show rear?
I have the same bike. I switched from the 650s to 700 series rims and tires and call this my poor mans Sutra. Love the bike. It is perfect for my old carcass.
info video ,great stuff! thanks
And do you unscrew it when you have flat tyre and you need to take out the wheel? Or can you just remove the axle like normal?
Great video! I’m hoping to order a 2022 Kona Rove DL soon and I have a question about sizing. I’m 5’11” and I’m thinking of ordering a 56cm. I won’t be able to test ride so I need to commit to a size. What size did you go with?
I bought one to. Its a perfect sitting bike! Love it. Thanks.
Just a heads up: I found putting five pounds per side on the front-mounted Divide rack on my front suspension made the steering CRAZY UNSTABLE. If you mount this on suspension, put only light items--clothing, etc. in there. I had a serious tail-wagging-the-dog feel when I had weight in front panniers. No bueno!
Can be used in a carbon fat bike?
thank you sir , your a great find as I'm new to this , old man mountain
Isn't there an option to not use a thru axle (or eyelets because my full suspension bike doesn't have them) and just attach the rack to the seat stays?
looking for the video dealing with steel bikes and eyelets......
For that mtb build. What handlebars are those.
Idk
Videos like this annoy me so much. Tells you to make sure the threads match up but doesn't give instructions on what you should do if they don't lol.
can yall make a video with the elkhorn rear? installation instructions are terrible
How would you install this rack on a Lauf fork?
Can you guys make a video of installing a rack to QR axle setup, I’d love to see what it looks like.
Metal Fork an option? Dream bike!!!Thanks
Does anybody know what's the model of the mountain bike?
Very
But my suspension seat stay moves independently from the axle, would installing this lock my suspension?
It does not. We're ridden thousands of miles without issue. The movement required from the rack is minimal and easily taken care of by the extenders. You won't even notice the rack is there.
I got the Trek Chekpoint a few years ago, it’s aluminum though. I’m curious would this bike with a steel frame be an upgrade?
you forgot to pump up the tire
We forgot to take the wheel off and fix the flat too 😂
How do you set the torque of the through axle to 10nm (brake side) and 6nm (drive side) using an allen key as a lever?
Great timing! I very recently thought of this issue when i got my axle mount and realized that its just that easy.
Glad it helped!
😍
does this work for fork with suspension as well?
If you click the link (in the vid description) it shows them on a bike with suspension
I think the answer is: yes… but if you’re planning to load it up a lot, it will change the suspension’s responsiveness, unless you have a flipped stanchion suspension. (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Absolutely!
For a sec I though Amy Poehler had gotten into biking! Nice video ;)
Amy Poehler looks nothing like this????
That's pucking awesome! 😀
That's a stunning bike!
I want to attach an OLD Man Mountain Divide Rear Fat Rack to a non-fat size bicycle frame similar to the one shown here. Is this possible?
Is it possible to install the rack without the dropouts?
It just depends on the bike. If the eyelets are high enough for the rack to clear the tire this can work great.
How does this work with quick release axels?
Sorry for the slow reply. It's very easy. The longer QR just goes through the rack dropouts as well and the hub.
Looks like Bend Oregon. Love these trails and my 2020 Kona Sutra LTD is the best bike I've ever had.
Sure is! Our shop is in SW Bend.
This review sold me, i was trying to decide on whether or not to sell my kona shonky and dew plus which i use both for what this bike seems like it easily conquers, and im doing it. Plus im able to test ride different sizes, thanks for the amazing review!
Would this better then a Surly Troll? Or would I just be wasting my money?
Great setup. KISS always works 💪
Thank you. The online instructions Image G for Installing front rack on eyelets has the dropouts on incorrectly. It has the bump toward the inside.
💪
What's the point of all those racks mounted to the wheel? They make the wheel very heavy and destroy the whole full-suspension bike idea. Also, your baggage is like in a tumbler. Am I missing something?
No, you didn't miss anything. This rack is stupid. In fact, any full suspension bike that has a rack mounted to the swingarm is stupid. Basically, the only way to do it correctly, would be to mount it to the seat tube. But none of the manufacturers do it correctly, so you end up with a useless rack, that barely hangs on by itself, and doesn't have any usable weight capacity.
@@_nopestr exactly , best part is I build myself solid rack exactly as you described. I tested it in a few off road trips and it holds quite nicely even when I overload it.
@@GrafRamolo Where's my royalties check 🤣🤣?
@@GrafRamolo Jokes aside - take a look at a "Starrun R20" bike. That's probably closest to what I meant, when it comes to how a rack should be mounted.
@@_nopestr hahaha, but i invented it years ago. I cannot post pictures here but I can mail it to you
Why am I blocked from the website?
We've had some spambots go after the site and had to block a few countries. You can use a VPN to access the site. SOrry about the inconvenience.
But do you ship to those countries?@@OldManMountainRacks
Lovely video. Did not know about the Kona Rove. Thanks for making lovely content.
Thanks for watching!
@@OldManMountainRacks Welcome
Im not gonna get anything from this company until this dude fixes his hairstyle.
Agreed. I feel like any purchase I'd make would be giving tacit approval to his egregious hair styling choices, which is something I could never do.
Tory, you have an excellent presenter's voice! Seriously, though, a rear rack on a carbon fiber bike?! Though it looks like most of the weight is borne by the axle, my fear would be any forward force on the carbon fiber "seat stays"... SNAP! What have your customers been reporting? *
I assembled mine to my seat post, so no part of the rack is touching my frame. It works great.
@@trocycling1204 Which adapter is it? Because i prefer it also to mount it to the seat post. But with a Full-suspension bike you need something, what can make the up/down movement (like the Ortlieb Quick Rack)
@@GreyCivic100 - I just used one of the ones they supplied for the seat stays. And then I bent just 1 of those bars that they want you to connect to the seat stays, and got it to the seatpost. It works great.
Perfect.
Where can I buy this? the website is broken.

Quick removal is a game changer. This takes way too long to be useful.
