They emailed me this because I bought my axle for my trailer from them.

I bought the front axle for my Vado from them: the axle Specialized doesn't make anymore. Old Man Mountain is a respected brand name. Only pity I cannot buy their products in Europe.

Robert Axle owns Old Man. Maybe they could find a way to get racks to you.

I was checking that, Reed. While axles are absolutely to be bought in Europe, the OMM racks are not. I regret that badly since Old Man Mountain racks appear to be best in the market. (Using Topeak TetraRack instead).

How's the TetraRack on a rear suspension bike?

Just perfect. There's one point about it. The rack relies on a system of velcro ties. If you put heavy panniers on it, the rack tends to get... well... skewed (bear in mind English is only my second language). My brother (who presently owns the Trance E+) fixed that by applying very strong glue, and attached the TetraRack permanently to his e-bike. No issues for many months now.

P.S. @steve mercier uses the TetraRack on his FS Moustache as well.

Interesting. Yes I saw the EBR review from Court as well and he showed what happens under weight as well.

I had one of those tetraracks and returned it. I thought it was garbage. I went with old man mountain front and rear racks. They really are by far the best on the market, and the only solution for aftermarket racks on full suspension bikes.

I've been using a Tetrarack for a long time on my FS Giant Trance E+. Old Man Mountain racks are unavailable where I live.
