Old Man Mountain Thru Axle Fit Kit
Best mounting solution for touring cyclists with modern thru axle frames.
This is the ultimate upgrade for turning a lightweight bike into a serious hauler. By anchoring your rack directly to the axle instead of fragile frame eyelets, you gain massive load capacity and peace of mind. It’s a slightly more involved setup, but the structural integrity it provides is unmatched for heavy-duty touring.
