Has anyone had this happen to their Manitou fork arch? Perfectly even on both sides...

Went for a few muddy rides where it caked around the arch for maybe 5 mins at a time before being scraped off...new front hub, no play in bearing/axle etc...
Is this common? 😕

Can happen on all forks, how wide a tyre?

Happened to my old minutes. The reverse arch design is narrower than most, so a bit more prone to it.
Doesn't really cause a problem though. I wouldnt worry about it if I were you.

I thought the reverse was supposed to give better clearance?
