No Spin Zone

Unlike clamp style mounts, Axle pack cannot spin or slip because it is firmly secured to the axle.

Light as a Feather

Granted, a pretty big feather, but at just 73g per side the Axle Pack is lighter than most clamp style mounting options.

Full Product Specs

  • Fits any fork using our thru axle Fit Kits.
  • Made from 6061 aluminum, Axle Pack is lightweight, stiff, and strong.
  • A svelte 73g per side.
  • It securely mounts to our axle studs.
  • Cannot slide down or rotate around the fork legs.
  • It can carry a lot more than a fork that has 3-pack mounts. Most bike’s mounts are rated to just 1.5kg each! Add to that low weight limit, the possibility of an impact to the bags on a tree or rock and you have a fair chance of ripping the eyelets out of your fork, especially a carbon fork.
  • Axle Pack is rated to 10kg per pair!
  • Made in Taiwan.
  • Lifetime warranty!

Included in the Box

  • Right and Left Axle Packs
  • Axle Mounting Hardware
  • 3-Pack Mounting Hardware
  • NOTE: Axle Packs REQUIRE a Thru Axle Fit Kit to attach to a fork. After you add the Axle Pack to cart, use our Fit Finder to get the correct Thru Axle Fit Kit for you.

Ride the Bike You Love

Old Man Mountain racks come eyelet mount ready like any other rack, but what if your bike isn’t meant for a rack? Never fear, our Fit Kits are here!

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. And if you don’t have upper eyelets to attach the stays, we have pucks that strap to the frame with our ultra rugged zip ties, or we have a seatpost collar that has extra mounting points.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I eyelet mount the Axle Pack? What about a QR Skewer?

No. The Axle Pack is not compatible with eyelet mounting or QR skewers.

How much weight can the Axle Pack carry?

The Axle Pack has a total system weight limit of 22 lbs (10 kg), or 11 lbs per side. That’s plenty of room for extra water, food, tools, or other gear you need for the ride. Because the load is supported at the axle rather than relying on fork eyelets, the Axle Pack provides a robust mounting solution for carrying gear on forks that aren’t designed for traditional cargo mounts.

Do I need a Fit Kit to install the Axle Pack?

Yes! The Axle Pack mounts directly to an Old Man Mountain thru axle Fit Kit, which provides a secure mounting point without relying on fork eyelets or clamps around your fork legs. Use our Fit Kit Finder Tool to find the correct Fit Kit for your bike. The Axle Pack is not compatible with quick-release skewers.

Will the Axle Pack fit my carbon fork or suspension fork?

Yes! The Axle Pack is designed to work with nearly any fork that uses a thru axle, including carbon road forks, gravel forks, and suspension forks. No fork eyelets needed.

Use our Fit Kit Finder Tool to find the right Fit Kit for your bike and get guaranteed fitment.

Why would I put the Axle Pack on an eyelet fork?

It gets your gear lower, and it helps if you have weird Surly offset dropouts.

Bought to turn my full suspension mountain bike into a bike packing rig, and it's perfect. It's super quick to mount and works great for adding storage for extra bottles, or mini panniers. The 4 bolt mounting is perfect for mini panniers under 5L since you can mount them high to keep them out of the way of rocks and other obstacles on the trail. The mounts are perfect for a set and forget setup since they weight almost nothing and add so much extra mounting especially with modern mountain bikes shifting to only one bottle mount. The only downside is that when you load up a suspension fork with almost 10Lbs it does handle a little worse but if you keep it light its not noticeable.

Doing my first bike touring trip from Amsterdam to Bucharest on an Ibis Hakka MX, that does not have mountain hardware for front panniers. Originally purchased another product for the front fork, and they failed spectacularly on a "check out" trip before leaving for Europe. A friend told me about the axle mount.Ordered them express delivery, and old man mountain delivered! Easy to install, and they have been rock solid for 800 miles so far , and my Ortlieb panniers are totally secure. Fantastic design, and a great solution for the Ibis Hakka!

Excellent product! I love how sturdy they are and the axle mounting system. Love being able to use fork panniers with a shock! Absolutely bombproof! Quick delivery also. Thank you!

We've been running these for about a year now. We bought them initially for a month long bikepacking trip around Finland and since then have used them on several trips around Scotland offroading on some very varied terrain. They've been absolutely rock solid across all of that. There's a tiny bit more faff when taking the front wheel off (no more than about 30 seconds or so) and that's a small price to pay for what in my opinion is an absolute genius piece of design. Much recommended!

I purchased these for use on a set of carbon forks that lacked mounting points. Very easy to install and remove so I just use them when traveling. I just leave the mounting pucks/ hardware on the fork legs and swap thru axles and bolt them right up. They are incredibly solid once tightened down and are actually way more solid than fork mounts that I have use on other carbon adventure style forks. The fit kit works perfectly and also works nicely with my Elkhorn rack and basket up front for bigger loads. Good stuff.

I couldn't locate my bike in their configuration tool. OMM offers other guidance as well so I measured everything and selected what I thought I needed. I emailed my order number and bike build sheet to OMM customer service and asked them to confirm my order is correct. They replied that the part I ordered would work but there was a better option that would be a bit better fit. ..and it was less expensive. I appreciate their integrity and excellent customer service. Their kits are solid and allowed me to strap WAY too much stuff to my bike. Great products and amazing customer service!

I rode around the world with an older set of OMM Pioneer and Sherpa rackSs on my quick release Surly bike. Worked flawlessly. Then recently I bought a full suspension bike with thruaxels. With a new axel kit and support beams I was able to move my old rack to my new bike. Still working flawlessly.

The versatility and posibilities of different mount configurations these offer once on the bike make them sooooo worth it. Perfect for bikepacking setups with supension forks.

What a great addition to my road carbon bike. It will allow me to rationalize my bikepacking, offering me easy to use extra space.

Fantastic addition for the carbon road bike I use for travelling, bikepacking style. It will take the hassle out of trying to attach the bags I need when I am camping and have too much stuff to pack it only ine the frame and in the rear stand. 5 stars well deserved !
