Last week when this fork dropped for real, a reputable and informed source questioned its functionality in colder temps. This info-pinion has since been stricken from the record. I get it. Free speech can be a *****.
My question, as a relative noob regarding suspension, is this: Is there cause for concern around this fork's performance in real cold (say...sub -20 C or so)? I can accept that this tech might have limits, possibly to be overcome, but is this a three-season fork ideally, or will there be an after-market set of seals or a recommended oil to remedy these concerns, if they are actually warranted?
The price point seems pretty decent, and Rockshox puts out solid product by most people's account. But I don't necessarily want to drop cash on this thing if it won't perform adequately, or at least be tweaked to run decently in the temps I originally bought my fatbike(s) to ride in.
