- In this video, we show step-by-step how to install a Classic rack on the rear of your thru axle bike that doesn't have eyelets. If you have a thru axle mountain bike, gravel bike, road bike or fat bike that does not have eyelets for attaching a rack, then this video is for you!
*I was expecting a lot of shortcuts to be taken at this price. I was wrong. Decent quality **Latest.Bike** raker . Easy on easy off.*
Torry (sp?), you are an excellent speaker/instructor.
I like this rack design better than the Topeak Tetrarack M2 and Thule Pack 'N Pedal Tour Rack. It looks like the Classic Rack sits back further away from the saddle. I expect when the rear suspension engages the saddle won't smash into the trunk bag.
Nobody makes a stronger, better built rack than OMM. Have a Sherpa that is almost ten years old, has been on several different bikes, been knocked around on Arizona rocks for years…just can’t kill it.
Great video.thanks!
Glad you liked it!
The title should say '... your 12mm axil mtb'
Seems easy enough , lets see how I do tonight with the rack I just received.
So you have to take your rack off every time you need to mend a puncture or clean your back wheel thoroughly we can put a rocket on the moon or Mars for that matterBut we can’t put a rack on a full suspension bike I feel ashamed of the human race
@@iancrumbs5494 LOL. Good one, Ian Crumbs. Good one.
Is it fine to mount to a carbon bike like a Santa Cruz nomad?
Absolutely! The weight is carried by our thru axles.
Nice. Not alot of solutions for fullsuspension bikes. What about rear fender and kickstand? Do you sell only the axle?
I wouldn´t recommend a kickstand on a fully. I make my fenders from used PET bottles cut to fit, eventually zip tied to a rear rack. Old Man Mountain rear racks work very well on all kind of full suspension bikes!
We were the first company to make racks for full suspension bikes. That is why the founder of our company started in 1996. We are working on accessories for our racks including fenders and kickstands, thanks for the interest.
Hi could these fit a YT Capra AL 2016 or Lappierre Zesty 2011? Thanks
Yes you can! Use our handy oldmanmountain.com/product/sherpa-frame-fit-kit-complete-bike-rack/ FIT KIT finder as it should have your bikes listed. You can also use this page here oldmanmountain.com/what-fit-kit-do-i-need/. That page has all the info on how to use our Fitment Guide printouts to measure your stock axle.
Does anyone know of other brands that can fit to a race bike ith no eyelets? I sawthis and the Axiom Streamliner Road but they're seemingly impossible, or extortionate, to get to the UK. Thanks !
We ship worldwide, very quickly.
is there a video for installing the rack that doesn't require a fit kit?
We have not finished the Divide install videos yet but we have a full instructions here oldmanmountain.com/how-to-install-a-bike-rack/
How many people watching this has a newton meter on their wrench? :D
Zero)
I've been using a Venzo 1/4 drive beam torque wrench that I found on Amazon for ~$20 with ZERO issues. You can torque from 2-10Nm.
Most are in foot pounds while Newton meter is on the rear or do the conversion
For fat bike?
