PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES
All panniers work with Old Man Mountain racks! While the rest of our rack frames use robust, oversized tubing, we use the industry standard pannier rail size. What about Ortlieb? Yes! What about Vaude? Yes, those too. Smaller brand panniers also work with Old Man Mountain racks. The rack is designed to work with all brands of panniers.
If you are looking for a recommendation, we are fans of the Revelate Designs Nano Panniers as they are incredibly well made and were designed specifically for our racks.
The weight limit of an Old Man Mountain rack is 70 pounds (or 31.75 kilograms) when axle mounted. When eyelet mounted we recommend a weight limit of 55 pounds (or 25 kilograms). whether 55 or 70 pounds, that is a lot of weight to carry on a bike and it will diminish the ride quality. We suggest spreading your total weight load to be 40% on the front wheel and 60% on the rear wheel.

Absolutely! If your bike has eyelets all toy need is our rack. If it doesn’t have eyelets, we have a full offering of compatible Fit Kits.
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:
- Cargo racks are ideal for small people with small bikes, who don’t have the frame capacity for soft bags.
- Cargo racks also allow for more carrying capacity, for those of us who want to carry more food and clothing, or a trombone. Just sayin’.
- Racks allow for the weight to be carried lower on the bike, which generally allows for better handling.
- Racks require no adjustment to suspension settings.
- Racks require no adjustment to your cockpit and do not compromise your bike fit.
- Carrying a backpack that has more than a hydration pack is horribly uncomfortable for long days in the saddle and just dumb. There are less painful methods of birth control!
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
2016 and newer Surly owners, be sure to mount our racks to the eyelet closest to wheel-center for best fit. Our racks fit great!
2015 and older Surly owners, due to structural issues in their dropouts Surly does not recommend their lower eyelets for mounting racks. The mid-stay mount (found on some models) is not a viable option for our racks. Sadly, we cannot recommend OMM racks for Surly bikes that are 2015 or older.
We love to hear that you’re taking your kid riding with you. However, due to the wide variety of kid carrier designs and our solid deck design we do not recommend using an on rack kid carrier with Old Man Mountain racks.
We do offer a Kid Trailer Dropout to replace the left dropout of your rack and allow you to tow a kid trailer while still axle mounting your rack.
Another great option for riding with you kid on your bike is the Mac Ride bike seat.

Nuestros discos de plástico están hechos de fibra reforzada con nylon y han sido probados y aprobados por los senderos más duros y las cargas más extremas. Siempre contamos con los constructores de rutas paran que prueben nuestros porta bultos, ya que ellos son los más capaces de cargar al máximo y llevar las bicis a los puntos más recónditos (antes de que el sendero exista).
Además, el propósito de los discos es evitar que el porta bultos gire, la mayor parte de la carga estará siempre en los ejes.
