Based in Bend, Oregon, Robert Axle Project & Old Man Mountain operates as a small sporting goods manufacturer. Its core offering comprises 12mm thru axles that enable attachment of bike trailers, trainers, and various accessories to a broad range of bicycles, including mountain, fat, road, cross, and electric models. Its sister brand, Old Man Mountain, manufactures bikepacking gear such as cargo racks and bags, expanding the portfolio to support carrying gear on cycling trips. The business targets cycling families, adventurers, commuters, and enthusiasts who want to travel by bike without leaving cargo behind. In 2019, the company expanded by acquiring Old Man Mountain, integrating racks into its offerings. A notable 2023 development is a partnership with Chris King Precision Components to produce a new line of axles in King's component colors for drop and flat bar bikes.
