Old Man Mountain Adds Elkhorn 32 for Bigger Adventure, Confirms Divide Already Fits 32
With bigger wheels comes bigger compatibility issues, but Old Man Mountain is 32 ready with a Divide rack that already fits and a new taller Elkhorn 32 rack. On paper, bigger 32 wheels sound like a great way to smooth out the bumps for bigger off-road bikepacking adventures. Yet, if you are looking to carry more gear on a bike with lightweight racks, youre likely to start running into clearance issues. But no reason to worry, Old Man Mountain has got it taken care of32 compatible Old Man Mountain Divide & Elkhorn 32 racks(All photos OMM)Since racks have to have ample clearance to secure your gear above the wheels, going from 700c/29 wheels up to the rapidly approaching 32 wheels means youre gonna need more clearance. If you already have a current Old Man Mountain Divide rack, theres nothing to worry about.OMM confirms that the existing Divides adjustable lower struts already provide plenty of height adjustability to work with 32 wheels.But, if you were looking at their lighter Elkhorn rack, which doesnt have the same strut adjustability, youre gonna need a longer rack. No worries here either. The Elkhorn already came in Short (27.5 & 700c up to 50mm) & Tall (up to 29+). Now it adds a third extra-long size, dubbed simply 32.Tech detailsBoth racks are designed for eyelet mounting front or rear, direct QR, or direct thru-axle mounting with Old Man Mountains special thru-axles & Fit Kits.
