Racks » Old Man Mountain Sherpa Rear Rack
The Cold Springs and Sherpa mount to your brake bosses and axle. This design allows them to fit nearly any type of frame including frames: without rack eyelets, with small rear triangles, with disc-brakes, and even with rear suspension.
The Sherpa Rear offers the same versatility as the Cold Springs in a minimalist package. Popular for its lack of a load-stop at the front, you can pack it’s top shelf with those extra long items (tents, baguettes, etc…).

Racks
I dig the sherpa rack… Love the lack of lip so long loads go ok. Mounts up solid.
The Sherpa is a solid rack. Mine survived 2500 miles on the GDMBR, 600 on the GDR, 1500 on two AZT trips and several other shorter trips. It’s now on a commuter bike and still used with panniers.
It’s also quite lightweight, and the ability to use it on virtually any mountain bike is a big plus. 29er lowers are available, and full suspension / disc brakes are no problem.
The extra long quick release mounting system can be a bit of a pain, especially when changing flats. But otherwise, there are no downsides to this rack.
Keep meaning to post this somewhere.
Rack is a Cold Springs.
Worked Great on CT…but the welds broke on the top tray, middle of three connections, both sides…
Still worked fine, just made some noise.
E-mailed OMM about a month after trip stating I considered this user damage, could I get the rack repaired by them or just take it to a local welder.
No photos no nothing.
New rack in my possession one week later.
Cost to me- zero dollars.
As OMM put it…
War-uhn-tee.
That’s good CS.
These are not cheap in Australia but well worth the money. Great rack. Solid.
Support from OMM via email was also great. very fast – even with the time difference.
