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 59g 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 59g per side - 20% lighter than the previous version!
  • 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!

US Patent #12151766. Other US and International patents applications pending.

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.
