- Old Man Mountain racks are strong. These aren't your average commuter racks. They're up to the task of carrying some serious gear and the new Elkhorn rack is no exception.
Find out what I like and dislike about this svelte and extremely versatile rack.

The possibility to mount it to the axle is compelling. If I didn't already own a Tumbleweed rack and had a Jack front rack on the way I would probably get one of these, especially since I had a fork eyelet fail in the past.
Very informative and love the inner monologue asides.
3pack mounts on the uprights is such a cool little feature. I can't believe more racks don't do this.
Yea totally makes sense
great! thank you! this will enable me to get front and rear cargo on my full suspension commuter bike,!
good review - thorough
Great System, especially when using the through axles from the Robert Axle Project!
Amazing review. This guy is smart and going places
Ha thx
These products do look awesome, but the prices will make your jaw drop!
hey @TheBikeSauce , do you know if this rack can be mounted on the "lowrider" fork mounts on a Specialized Diverge? Trying to find a way to make this rack work on the front without springing for the axle fit kit.
with those pucks and the axle moount, this might be a legit solution to suspension fork packing
It totally is. There are sample configurations on the website that show it front and rear
I wish it had the MIK slots on it, but tha adapter plate will also work...
Hi when your say axle mount is stronger than eyelets do you mean eyelets have higher chance of failure like breaking? Or carrying weight abilities?
Great idea for bike packers and did you cut your hair?

I have considered buying for Old Man Mountain, for a Giant TCR with no rack mounts, but I couldn't afford it.. and I was also worried by how these perform when removing wheels (axle mounted ones, of course). Would having a flat be cumbersome with the rack mounted on?
Yea pretty much any axle mounted rack is kind of a pain. Run tubeless and it’s not a common occurrence
I have done a fair amount of bikepacking even before switching to tubeless. I found out in most instances I don't even have to take out the wheel when having a puncture. I try to locate the puncture, lay the bike on the side and then pull out the tube as much as I need to patch it. As long as I can locate the puncture (I inflate the tire and put my ear next to it while slowly turning) or the puncture is not close to the valve this method worked really well for me.
Can I find it in Amazon?
Did you get the short or the long version?
Short for this review
Their stuff is built like a tank, and costs as much... and it appears your review has crashed their website 🙂 Thanks!
😆 can’t be. Probably some maintenance on their end
I prefer paying $148 for made in the USA than a $50 china version. Have already one OMM rack for my fatbike, quality and strength is unmatched. It will probably outlast my bike and that is what quality products should do.
For now I think they only have the divide rack available domestically manufactured. Others are made in Taiwan, but not 100% sure
What about on a bike that has suspension forks you didn’t cover that
It works on bikes w front and rear suspension
MSRP: 168$

It will not fit any bike. It won't fit a fat tire bike.
