Old Man Mountain Painted Hills Anodizing on Basket and Axle Pack

For MADE 2024 Old Man Mountain turned to its local landscape for inspiration. Central Oregon is home to the Painted Hills, a stunning geologic feature made of mineral rich soils compacted into layers upon layers of striated color. OMM took these colors and made a special series of Axle Pack and Baskets, along with Astral Outback wheelsets.

The parts are super limited to just 12 sets of Axle Pack, 12 Baskets. There are a few Baskets and Axle Packs available online, the rest are available in person at MADE 2024. Prices are the same as normal.

Also matching this kit are Astral’s Outback wheelsets, which are only available in person at MADE 2024.

Heavy Lifting: A Longterm Review of the Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rack

The Old Man Mountain Elkhorn Rack solves a critical problem I’ve always had with my mountain bike. As far back as I can remember, owning a set of wheels translated into carrying stuff. A friend on the handlebars of my Sears BMX bike. A case of beer and groceries on the front rack of my old Vespa. An entire apartment in the back of my pickup truck. However, that functionality never existed for me in mountain biking.

A Zamboni for MTB trails?!?!?

To put the new Old Man Mountain Divide Racks to the test, OMM strapped a bunch of water to them and made some hero dirt, in the high desert, in the middle of summer.

Built on Old Man Mountain Divide racks mounted to a crash test dummy painted Santa Cruz Bronson, the Dust Zamboni has two sprayer tanks that hold 14L of water and are linked together to balance pressure and water levels. To save the water for where we need it, they are solenoid actuated by an electronic switch on the handlebar. Don’t forget about the safety lights and hi-vis uniform!
