• Front axle for mountain bike forks

    Our Fit Kits are tried and tested! Old Man Mountain was born in 1996 from the need to mount racks on bikes without traditional mounting points and make every bike capable of doing more. Our Fit Kits do just that while having some key benefits over eyelet mounting too.

    • Fit Kits protect your bike. Not all bike eyelets are meant for racks, most are only made for fenders or have very low weight limits. Axle mounting protects your frame by moving the load from a small bolt that's loaded in shear to a stud that extends from the axle and is captured by the rack dropouts.
    • Need to carry more gear? Axle mounting increases our Divide rack's load capacity to 70lbs/33kg.
    • Want to move your rack between multiple bikes? Fit Kits make it easy to swap between bikes or front and rear mounting with just a few bolts.?
  • These pucks attach the Old Man Mountain rack frame to the front or rear of your mountain or fat bike. They provide a secure upper attachment point for the rack. Included in the packet are heavy duty zip ties, clear protective film, and mounting hardware. Designed for use with carbon, steel, titanium and aluminum bikes and forks. Slots in the puck also allow for use with metal hose clamps (not intended for carbon). Pucks can be left on the bike for future reinstallation of the rack. For use only with specific Panduit brand 120 lbs zip ties. Panduit #BT2LH-TL0 Additional zip ties are available from us here (link) or Google them, they are available worldwide.
