Anyone use a Maverick SC32 on a Sultan?

Barny and I have run SC32's on our Turner snowbikes, and the SC32 is basically the only fork I have run on my Pugsley (which now has at least a 1,000 miles on it). In general I agree with Mike C's feelings on the fork, though mounted on our snowbikes, we don't push the fork quite as hard as he was. Since we have two of them laying around, it is quite possible that one will find its way onto my Sultan at some point. I have trepidation over the results though. It is a SUPER snowbike fork, but the twist under braking is something to behold. 
I would like to confirm your recommendation, but.................:cryin: :incazzato:The Squeaky Wheel said:

Back to waiting patiently, guess I'll have to be happy riding my other clapped out bike

I call BS. WB said they needed to add exactly 1cc of oil to dial the fork in perfectly.The Squeaky Wheel said:
First time I called to speak with their tech they said 1 cc.tscheezy said:I call BS. WB said they needed to add exactly 1cc of oil to dial the fork in perfectly.
That made no sense.
Second time I called I spoke with a different tech who said 1 oz (roughly 30 cc). That's made a tremendous difference and I'm pleased with the results.
So either tech #1 misspoke or I was hungover. Either way, final results are positive.

So is this your follow up ride report, then?The Squeaky Wheel said:
OK....I don't know what WB was thinking with the "stock" configuration. With minimal effort I could easily bottom the arch against a 2.35 Rampage unless I set the air-assist comp damping to a point that the fork overall felt like poo. I reckon I could also have bottomed it against a smaller 2.1 Ignitor as well.Random Drivel said:So is this your follow up ride report, then?
Adding 1 oz of Torco 7 made a tremendous difference. I'm probably not getting full 135mm of travel but I'm not bottoming and the stroke is smooth & controlled. For this bike it certainly feels like enough travel and the bike overall feels very balanced.
I don't know how I'd feel about this fork in 26" configuration - there's a good chance I wouldn't like it. But a 29" is not a 26." The big wheels inherently feel gushier so imperfections in suspension performance don't seem to make that big of a difference.
If you'd have told me two months ago that I'd be digging a WB fork I would have told you to put down the pipe. But I'm really quite happy with this fork on the Sultan. :thumbsup:
There's some good info on the Ventana forum from a Clyde on an El Rey who was having problems dialing this fork in. WB now has a kit that adds spring weight. He's happy with the final result.
For those of you between Sultan sizes thinking of running this fork, my advice is to think hard about the smaller frame. I'm between a M & L on paper at 5'10". With the taller WB fork I have less than 1.5" of standover and run a 90mm stem with an inch of headset spacing. The L likely would not have worked for me.
Ouch! That would imply I actually have some skill or fitness.The Squeaky Wheel said:
PS: Good excuse.
We all know you barely work! And you didn't miss much anyway.1 - 19 of 19 Posts
