Product news: The US brand Old Man Mountain serves the steadily growing bikepacking segment with versatile, durable and highly resilient luggage racks. The luggage racks are designed in such a way that they can be mounted on both the rear wheel and the front wheel. Old Man Mountain products can now be found at MCG.
Channing Hammond came up with the idea for the innovative product back in 1996. In order to be able to go on multi-day MTB adventure tours with his new mountain bike with suspension fork, the tinkerer developed a luggage rack whose main attachment points are on the axle. At the same time, the Old Man Mountain brand was born. Since then, the US manufacturer has been serving the steadily growing bikepacking segment with versatile, durable and also highly resilient luggage racks and offers well thought-out solutions for all adventurers to be able to stow luggage safely on their bikes when travelling.
Thanks to their variable structure, Old Man Mountain carriers are designed in such a way that they can be mounted on both the rear wheel and the front wheel. It also doesn't matter whether the bike is equipped with a suspension fork or a rigid fork. Thanks to various fit kit systems, which are precision-manufactured by The Robert Axle Project in the USA, and the Fit Kit Finder on their website, an Old Man Mountain luggage rack should fit any type of bike. According to the company, the products are tested on hundreds of kilometers of single trails around the company headquarters in Bend (Oregon) and on intensive bike tours through Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Iceland. Old Man Mountain products can now be found at MCG.
