Old Man Mountain Rear Fit Kit
Best mounting solution for cyclists with modern thru axle frames.
This is the ultimate workaround for turning a performance bike into a capable hauler without compromising the frame. By shifting the load to the axle, it bypasses the need for traditional eyelets entirely. You sacrifice a bit of installation simplicity for the ability to carry heavy gear on bikes never designed for it.
