There are quite a few comments online suggesting that even the 'standard' Mastodon has quite a bit of clearance. Here's a photo of my Mastodon Pro Standard 120mm travel fork with a Surly Bud on a 65mm wheel (and if I'm not mistaken, the Bud is a little taller/closer to the arch than if it were mounted on a wider rim, as is commonly the case). I don't think your Minions are bigger than a Bud, so you should be fine with a 'standard' Mastodon. You'd only need an 'extended' if you plan to someday run a Vee Snowshoe 2XL or perhaps the new Terrene Johnny5. I bought the 120mm travel Mastodon because that's what my Fatback Skookum frame is spec'd for.
Manitou Mastodon Fork
Jim: With 4.8 Minions on 90mm-wide rims you should have a bit more clearance than what you see in my photo (which I feel is more than adequate). If you're not comfortable with that much clearance for snow/mud, then go with the 'extended' model.
It'll add 20mm to your axle-to-crown distance or roughly make the front end 1 degree more slack than a 'standard' model.Before finding out exactly what Fatback was recommending for my bike (the 120mm 'standard' Mastodon with 4.8 Jumbo Jims on 80mm rims) and having read that Manitou 'recommends' their 'extended' fork for 4.8 tires, I bought an 'extended' Mastodon Pro. It turned out that the steering was slower than I'd like, and the tire clearance was huge.
It cost me another $200+, IIRC, and about 2.5 weeks of downtime to get the 'extended' fork converted to 'standard.' I'm just trying to save you that same fate, unless you think those two huge tires that I mentioned in my last post are in your future. On the other hand, if you want to noticeably slacken out your bike, the 'extended' fork might be a good way to do it. I’m late to this party, but Just an fyi, the clearance difference for the standard vs ext I believe is just for tire height.
Used Manitou Mastodon
Width clearance should be the same for both.When fully compressed, the fork crown will go lower than the arch. On the ext Manitou specs that you only need something like 6mm of clearance between tire and arch, but on the standard they want you to have something like 26mm to prevent the arch from contacting the tire on full bottom out. I suppose you could air diwn the fork and compress it to double check if your running bigger tires than what they call for.Also with the standard you can move spacers to gain extra tire clearance at the sacrifice of travel (i.e on the 120mm gain 10mm of tire clearance but drop to 110 of travel etc.)I only know this because I did a lot of research before I bought mine (120mm standard comp) but I have NOT tried any of this myself to test, I just read about it. I did run a 4.8” knard with about 70% tread on it briefly which is supposed to be taller than what they spec it can handle and I never noticed any rubbing, and I ride it like a trailbike and use up the full travel so clearance must be at least somewhat more generous than what manitou advises. However I would be careful if you are pushing tire size too far beyond their specs if your riding hard.you dont need the front to lock up on when you bottom out off a drop or something.People can Jab about running suspension on a fatty, but for “non-snow” riding, I feel like this fork has really made my bike a hell of a lot more fun, especially with 27.5x3.8 tires on narrower rims. It feels somewhere in between fat and plus setup like this and is really quite capable on the trail.
