Whats this fork like , dont know much about maverick, anybody got one ????

Fantastic fork, really easy to look after, service etc and you can tune it perfectly for you.

Nice and light, very low "height" for a 5" fork (bike handles as though a 4") .. very sensitive to bumps.

buuuuut .. if you're over 10st it's gonna twist and snake about like mad … I managed to get one to throw me off a whyte E5 going round a tight switchback at speed !

I'm over 14stone and never had any issues like this. Also got the DUC's on another bike with no issues either.

Easy to service, robust, lightweight.

Im thinking of getting it to run 650b wheel with , (theres always one isnt there) im prob 14 stone in riding gear and its going on a hardtail . With them being upside down is the main weight of the fork at the top im looking at the 08 model thats on sale.

I run mine with a 650B wheel. You'll have to tweek the travel to stop the wheel topping out on the crown. The fork is well balenced, the top is no heavier than the bottoms. The internals run all the way through the fork.

Just realised its not so cheap as they need a new 24mm front hub

I have a spare maverick front hub if your interested.

love the forks… bought 2 pairs.

How much Mr T?

love the forks… bought 2 pairs.

I love em too, I've got them on 4 bikes 😐

managed to get my 2nd pair forks + hub for £150 from fleebay…. absolute bargain. John Whyte was selling off his 'new old stock' afgter he retired from working with ATB Sales.

nixon_fiend – I know people refer to them as 5" in the space of 4" but I simply don't understand where they get that from… from research I did I found the axle to crown height for Sc32's just a couple of mm less than for a Rockshox 120 or Fox 120 fork.

axle to crown measurements

As a hub alternative, i run a proII with the hope adapter. I think it was only £25 (the adapter that is). May be a cost effective solution if you already have proII. Equally i don't see why it wouldn't work with any other 20mm bolt through.

ps- 13st and no worries.

stonemonkey – it's a black, brand new, unused 32 hole hub. if you are serious, make me a sensible offer.

MisterT, i've found the same when looking into axle/crown stuff. It'll be the usual, one reviewer wrote something in error that has become gospel over time.
