I've used a 40 year old Blackburn rack on over 300,000 miles of bike touring from my first 2100 miler to a 7000 mile ride, all over N. America since 1982. Its been remounted to 17 different. bicycles. Its aluminum. I also have 2 sets of panniers that are 36 yrars old. Gear lasts if its taken care of!
If I had an Old Man Mountain Divide bike rack, I’d be able to cut down a majority of my daily errands around town that I’d normally be driving and instead be able to do more biking throughout my week. Picked up a Specialized Diverge this year thanks to your videos. Raising my first kid sometimes errand is the only getaways you get between work and family time. Biking is definitely helping me with my goal of being able to hit the road and lose some weight at the same time. Thanks again.
Professor Sauce I'm glad to see you are promoting a traditional rear rack. I was a bike commuter at University of Florida for almost 5 years and love running panniers. Had a rack with through axle routing it was always stable and strong. Panniers are big capacity and easy access. Still a great option as opposed to the new bike packing rigs.
Just finished a gravel-bikepacking oriented rebuild of an old 90s 26er GT bike and I'd been going crazy trying to find a rack system that's just the right mix of versatility, low profile, and low weight. These guys check every single box for me. A relatively slim rack that's designed to be both a front and rear rack on any style of bike at the swap of a few parts is exactly the kind of ingenuity I wish we would see from more companies out there rather than just endless variations on the same proprietary "front rack" & "rear rack" designs. If you want to do any serious long distance cycling around here in southern Ontario your best option, unless you want to take your chances on some poorly maintained back roads that are a complete gamble on being cycling friendly, is a pretty well constructed network of gravel/cross trails. Before I finished this GT build, that whole segment of cycling wasn't an option for the super light fixed gear bikes I've been riding exclusively for the last 5 years. So if I could get my hands on one of these racks, you bet I'd be strapping down a tent and some camping supplies and taking a week tour through the country areas I haven't been able to get to previously without a car.
I will use it on a multi day ride in Washington DC with my Mom. We are planning to go for one of her first 100 mile+ weekend rides. This would be very useful for carrying all of our stuff! Awesome channel and keep up the amazing work!
I got the Old Man Mountain Divide rack to use as a front rack on my bike. I've been bike touring for the last couple of years on a Trek Dual Sport 2 and initially got a front rack which attached to my suspension fork with straps to carry two small panniers. The straps kept slipping a little resulting in a clear tilt to that rack -- but it didn't fall off. It worked, but it didn't inspire confidence. This year I looked for a more solid front rack (Trek/Bontrager not providing one for my bike model even though it's not that old). Someone at a bike store recommended Old Man Mountain and I ordered one from the website (tapping lots of helpful customer support to make sure I got the right fit kit). It was remarkably easy to install and performed solidly for my two two week bikecamping treks over hundreds of miles on variable trail surfaces. I give Old Man Mountain an enthusiastic thumbs up!
I've been using rear racks for years as I use my retro gravel bike for my part-time delivery job. I also use the rack for strapping my luggage on as I bike to my grandma's house for a week-long visit every quarter of the year. The problem I've had with standard rear racks is the sheer amount of flex they have due to the pivoting 'legs' that attach to the eyelets or stays. The spring clamp also rattles annoyingly while riding so I tend to bend and remove it from the rack itself as it doesn't serve much purpose to me. As I stumbled upon your video from my subscription feed, I was honestly quite delighted by the thick supports of the rack and the lack of that spring clamp.and based on you trying to shake and load the rack while mounted, it seems very stable to me. That rack would definitely be put to good use in my everyday life. I might also be motivated to try some recreational bikepacking with such a reliable rack.
OMM racks look awesome and this review is the best one I’ve seen of their rack system. I will load this thing up to full 70lbs of grocery’s, packing gear, Cliff bars, and choice beverages! Thanks Bike Sauce!
Thanks for making this video. I have traveled over 24,000 miles on my 2020 specialized Vado 5.0 over the last 30 months, while commuting, doing errands, and taking my kids to the park and the beach in Los Angeles. It has been great. I would use this OMM rack on the front shock of the Vado to provide more carrying capacity for my specialized Vado. That means more toys at the park for my kids and one less car in LA.
Have been commuting by bike since good ol' 'Rona hit. It's been very difficult to find a reliable, robust rack that I resort to bringing a backpack instead. This Old Man rack would probably be end game product for my commuting needs
We've got the earlier version of this rack. We use it on our tandem for long bike-touring trips. There is no comparison with the strength, light weight, load capacity and versatility of these Old Man Mountain racks... they are superb.
One of my favorite activities is going on Daddy/Daughter (D²) gravel and multi surface rides with my two year old on my Diverge Sport. However the combo of my daughter and Hamax rear seat now is uncomfortably close to the weight limit of my Bontrageger bike rack. The Old Man Mountain rack could allow me to switch my daughter back from the Burley Bee carriage back to her rear seat meaning more adventures together and getting to be that bit more close to each other on our fun D² rides. I’d love to have one of these to carry my favorite cargo!
I traveled some years ago to Carretera Austral, Chile using two Old Man Mountain racks and it was amazing!!! Now I would like to get this new model in order to discover new beautiful places ❤️
I rode the San Juan Hut system from Telluride to Moab this year. Wish I had a rear rack for that trip and have been looking for one that would work with my bike(s). However, I tend to tinker and go through bikes often so I have not committed to a rack system yet. This rack looks like the one for me since it can fit on many different bikes. Planning to ride the Aquarius Trail system or some other 5-7 day bikepacking trip for 2022 and would definitely use it for that trip. When not bikepacking, I would to use the rack on the fork on my commuter/gravel bike!
I'd probably use a rack setup for commuting, grocery getting, and child hauling. Maybe not as glamorous as bikepacking, but a lot cooler than driving everywhere.
Planning a bike packing trip on a tandem from the Canadian border to the Mexican border with my wife. I've had several experiences with more budget racks failing on tours before (breaking at mounting points primarily) and I'm looking for a beefier option. The Old Man Mountain seems like the perfect choice to solve that.
@@OldManMountainRacks No, it's a mostly road route through WA, OR, & CA starting in Vancouver and finishing in Tijuana. It's around 1600 miles and 95% or so is paved.
Same boat here man, I've built up a bike with the intention of doing some kind of touring. But between covid and baby #2 getting here, who knows when I'll get out for a multi day ride. I would probably use this rack for some loaded grocery store trips! lol aka "how much beer can this hold?"
Excellent. Answered all the questions I had about this system. The alternative, which is very attractive and extremely expensive, is Tailfin. I can add this system to my Trek FX 6 and get panniers that give me the capacity I need for some serious touring. Thanks!
Hockey by bike lol…I’ve been wanting to do this to get to games forever but always wondered if it would actually work with the stick. Thanks for showing it’s possible!
That would be such a good set up for groceries and touring! That would help me replace my car! And this will help me take my pitch fork and shovel for working at my local community gardens!
I absolutely love my OMM Sherpa rack! Having a couple sets of mounting kits allows me to switch between bikes either front or rear. Perfectly holds my Ortlieb bags as well my bungee hook style (grocery) bag without any heel clipping. I’d love a second one for commuting/weekend touring but best to go to someone who is on the hunt.
Great Video again, Mr Bike Sauce. Planning to going on a bit longer bike trips in 2022 I was looking around for good will quality rear racks. This one would be perfect as it could be used as a front pannier when commuting... Thanks for the review, I'd love to win a lottery once;) Greetings from Germany!
I did the same, mostly thinking that it would make removal super efficient as it would be two bolts at through axle and one bolt at seat collar for easy reinstall. That said for a Dcollar I would opt for your idea! But an aero bike w panniers would be odd vs gravel bike with slicks and panniers for road touring and knobbies for bike packing.
Haha, mathematically I will generate more negative responses than positive one if I mention my team. ..But, I did grow up in the Bay Area in California.. 😀
I’ve been looking for a rack like this to use on my carbon hardtail for bikepacking. Since I’m shorter it would be ideal to still be able to use my dropper post and most racks won’t work on my carbon hardtail as it doesn’t have rack mounting points. Insane to see the load capacity as well since i use a smaller frame this is ideal to be able to have most of the bags packed in the rear. I hope i win! If not this review has me sold on buying!
I've been looking for a bike rack that'll mount to my (no eyelets thru-axle) cx bike, and this would do the trick. I'm hoping to bikepack from Toronto to the east coast next summer
nice skills on the blades! so you moved on to another house? No fullerton loop anymore? I just got into the whole loop and even recognized all the corners just from your videos :D anyway.... i'd use this rack for my daily commuting routine where i have to cross a wooden, bumpy terrain where some nice supportive rack would do a great job. and of course for my first overnighter soon, i alrady got the frameback but sill looking for a back/front rack alternative to the annoying saddle bag (ass rocket thingys) :D
Hey great video. been looking at options of fitting a rack to my full suspension set up. I love bike camping & urban riding and this would be great to throw gear in. I ride my bike all over and this would help me take it to the next level! Thanks guys love the channel, subscribed & followed. Cheers! Stay safe everyone and goodluck!
Thanks for the very worthwhile post (like ALL of your Bike Sauce material)! I am unable to locate your video that highlights the saddle rails mounted "seat roll" outfitted on your Diverge (that you decided to use to minimize "rattle" not encountered while road riding your Roubaix with a traditional type seat bag by comparison). Please provide a title or link. Additionally, are you still a fan of the product? I have been looking at the roll type seat bag by Silca that uses a Boa closure, which as I recall would be "chunkier" than what you showcased awhile back.
@@TheBikeSauce It's an add on, had not noted that in your review the first time, but for ~ $28 far worth it in my opinion to keep from frame wear. Now all they need is a Dlink collar for aero bikes ;) Or I will just tour on the gravel bike.
Can anyone speak to the danger on why doing this correctly with the rear rack add on's as presented in this video is why you have to do it this way? I've heard if you do it wrong, and just use any generic rear rack on a bike that didn't come with a rear rack but does have rear suspension, means you'll damage the bike or get hurt possibly while riding, (that's if you don't do it right, but I can't go into more detail on why that is)
hi mate, in your bike, are the extenders in a straight line from the rack to the seat post clamp or are they bent? I bought the DIVIDE but it didn't come with the seatpost clamp, so I am using a generic one from my old bike and the extenders are not really straight. How does the bending look on your bike? has this caused any issues? I wish your video could show it from a top angle :)
This would be perfect strength-wise to carry groceries instead of using my handlebars and bookbag, would be able to go on long rides with a low center of gravity working with me instead of my bookbag working against me.
In the EU seller's page (main importer in EU it says)... there they state the Sherpa is not produced anymore 😭 edit: ok just checked now and saw and heard then it was the Divide you mentioned good coz was afraid the company wasn't even there anymore just when had found something good lol.. thanks for the video
@@TheBikeSauce Can't get the Tailfin, big stocking issues and much more proprietary so opted for OMM, as it looks as simple, once initial install w/ seat collar is facilitated, then remove a couple of bolts and off for weekend graveling, etc.
I really wanted one of these but it's priced like it's silver plated. I found another one, not as nice, for half the price. 55lbs instead of 70lbs capacity.
The Diverge should have a M5 threaded seatpost collar for mounting the rack. I'm not sure if the reason why it's mounted to the seatpost is because it's preferred or that the threaded seatpost collar isn't common knowledge.
I did the same, order seat post attachment, mostly thinking that it would make removal super efficient as it would be two bolts at through axle and one bolt at seat collar for easy reinstall. That said for a Dcollar I would opt for your idea! But an aero bike w panniers would be odd vs gravel bike with slicks and panniers for road touring and knobbies for bike packing.
I think the takeaway is that maybe there is technically a correct way to pronounce it, but people will continue to say it how they’re used to. And that’s fine!

The Diverge should have a M5 threaded seatpost collar for mounting the rack.
I'm not sure if the reason why it's mounted to the seatpost is because it's preferred or that the threaded seatpost collar isn't common knowledge.
I think it’s bc modern seaport collars have sunken and flush bolts. Not like older clamps which could accommodate the extenders

That said for a Dcollar I would opt for your idea! But an aero bike w panniers would be odd vs gravel bike with slicks and panniers for road touring and knobbies for bike packing.
the price is obscene considering something half the price does the exact same thing.
Looks awesome, but $80 for a through bolt...
That thru-axle adapter cost $90.-- !!
Yeh noce product but theres always an extra part that is required with these products.
Tailfin has done this for years
