    After years of using bikepacking panniers of all different styles we turned to North St. Bags to make a version of their Micro Pannier perfect for bikepacking. The OMM Micro Pannier by North St. Bags takes their already fantastic Micro Pannier and replaces the hook attachments with two rugged velcro straps. They are not as quick to get on and off the rack as hooks but they are exceptionally durable and reliable in rugged terrain. For the lower attachment we followed the same priorities and chose to replace the hook with a band of 1" webbing and a micro Voile strap For the strap we swapped the plastic buckle for an aluminum hook that is essentially rock and tree proof as well as being quick and easy to use one handed.
  • 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.?

  • Old Man Nalgene
    On some rides you can feel the mountain breathing. Rhythmic gusts of wind pushing against you or, if he’s feeling forgiving, pushing at your back. He’s a craggy, weathered old man, worn by time and the elements, but rest here for a moment and breath in the wisdom of the mountain air. Keep hydrated with these 32oz, Wide Mouth, Nalgene bottles. Perfect for the trail, road, or office. Illustration by Dean Liebau

  • A titanium Manything Cage made by Ron at King Cage is an object of beauty. So elegant and simple that you may choose to place it on a mantle to admire rather than mount it on your rack. We encourage you to resist this urge and instead mount it up to your Elkhorn rack. It is the perfect tool for carrying dry bags or large bottles like Nalgenes on the legs of your Elkhorn rack. These come with two 20", Olive, Voile straps that have Old Man Mountain printed on them. If you're not familiar with King Cage, let me give you a little background. Ron founded King Cage in 1991 and has been bending and welding cages in his Durango, Colorado basement ever since. Before starting King Cage, Ron was a staple of the early mountain bike industry working at Ibis, Merlin Metalworks, Jo Breeze Cycles, Ted Wojac Cycles, and Yeti.

    These are on backorder. Order now, we are expecting to be restocked and shipping on May 6th. Where are you going? Absolutely anywhere with the Ponderosa Panniers. These bikepacking panniers are ready for everything. Sunshine or rain, your gear will stay dry and protected in these 100% waterproof, TPU fabric panniers with welded seams and Hypalon reinforcements. We've secured them to the rack with camming velcro straps at the top and use the lower compression strap to loop through the rack and guarantee that your bags don't turn into dumbo ears when you hit a bump, no matter how rough. We've made all of the compression straps replaceable so next time you spill some salsa on your bag and Mr. Mouse nibbles through one you can just swap it out, nice and easy. The Ponderosa Panniers have the typical frame sheet in the back (against the rack), but we've also added a removable frame sheet on the frontside of the bag so it compresses evenly to give you the slimmest profile bag possible with what you choose to carry. Our branding is super subtle so you can focus on your adventure and not our logos. It's embossed into loop velcro so you can attach any patch with ease and swap it out as your mood suits you.
