Great video, many of us are really interested to see how this suspension performs, lasts and the amount of maintenance required. Your video is a great first insight, thanks, keep up the great job. I’m looking forward to your comparison of This wheel and the S22
Thanks for the feedback and support! I like doing this as a hobby and helping the community out… in future I will showcase much more like this on other wheels to help out!
@marksewell7121 no because I hope some technical person on forums or community with lots of experience in this department would create a solution for us or a stiffer lbs option to replace the coil inside…
The teardown process honestly doesn't look too bad, just a lot of screws to keep track of. I wonder if those springs are a standard size and if we could replace them with even heavier mountain bike springs or something, for people who want to jump the wheel or ride it on black diamond trails. Was it a pain to replace the oil and purge the air afterwards?
I think it’s fine with all the screws and fairly simple process… The production wheels are now getting to the customers and curious to see how the suspension holds up and what the future brings to the community! Upgrading with better spring is doable and maby other oil viscosity…
A progressive spring that ramps up the rate at the end of the travel would be 👌 It doesnt't look progressive? 🤷♂ Great content mate.. 👍 Also any benefit with going to a heavier weight oil?
I did it for myself and to show it but I do not have the correct info about the oil capacity on these shocks so I measured it from what came out and I lost abit during the leak… so around 200ml I did in my and it performs great and has 1000km almost on it!
Is this video still relevant, as you mentioned in a more current video that the suspension continued to leak and had to be replaced, then the wheel was sold. Am I understanding that correctly?
@@MisterBanaszak 10w too apparently 🤷♂ My patton arrived the other day, unbelievable wheel 🤯 It seems to be put together properly so I haven't given it a tear down to check screw tightness.
The hotter it gets then u get less viscosities… winter it gets thicker… It’s all personal what u like but when u bottomout a lot or is to soft go thicker!
@@MisterBanaszak That would be great if you could make a comparison video and what in your opinion is the better wheel. I'm still deciding which suspension wheel to buy, the S22 pro or the Patton. I'm not much of a off road rider, but with the right wheel, that may change. Thanks.
@@terrenceclark763Will try to showcase this for you and every wheel is personal but the benefits and disadvantages will be shown… indepth detail experience 😉
U can measure the stock oil capacity what’s in the shock if yours not leaking, when u change the oil because u don’t get any info for repairing it yourself! I have a friend in my group that has the Sherman s and I will ask him to check this…
I just discovered that I have some significant oil leak as well. Do you think I can just tighten the 32mm bolt without taking the wheel apart? Or do I need to do that and add more oil? I've only had the wheel about 1.5 months, but prob noticed the oil leak about 2-3wks ago but did not realize it was coming from the SS (I thought it was water).

Good job, please next time meassure all spring dimensions so we can produce stiffer version
Yes I’m gonna do other side aswell!
did you measure the spring@@MisterBanaszak

Nice info My friend ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Yes and I’m happy… no more oil leaks!
Great video - thank you for doing this! Glad to see that the seals were not the issue. Do you know how much oil you used?
Really loving your content!
Around 200ml and works fine… also spill about when filling 😅
A progressive spring that ramps up the rate at the end of the travel would be 👌
It doesnt't look progressive? 🤷♂
Great content mate.. 👍
Also any benefit with going to a heavier weight oil?
Higher viscosity oil will produce more dampening, it can be beneficial
Next time I’m gonna try 7.5w or 10w but i prefer smooth ride and it’s allready better now…
Lynx has the progressive spring.. hopefully they release one for the Patton
@KaizenOz that would be great because a friend of me want to replace it also then!
So you changed all the seals? Maybe would be nice to show how and how much oil you put in. But anyway, outstanding video! This suspension seems legit!

@@MisterBanaszak Ride One put their Patton video up recently, they did 100ml in one and 80ml in the other, interested to see what works out best
@@KaizenOz that’s good to know because now there will be much more info about it and maby good ideas with upgrades to the coil…
Awesome info!
Is this video still relevant, as you mentioned in a more current video that the suspension continued to leak and had to be replaced, then the wheel was sold. Am I understanding that correctly?
Yes they need to sell a repair kit for all seals… so they just send me 2 new shocks!
Veteran uploaded a suspension servicing video, they recommend 130ml, (ride one put 100/80ml in their suspension and raving about it)
Thanks for the info! Good that we know the capacity of the oil now…
@@MisterBanaszak 10w too apparently 🤷♂
My patton arrived the other day, unbelievable wheel 🤯
It seems to be put together properly so I haven't given it a tear down to check screw tightness.
@@KaizenOz yeh then u are lucky 😅
Have fun with your new wheel!!!
@@MisterBanaszak another ride tonight, in heaven with the Patton 😂
So where did you end up getting the seals from?
I cleaned everything and greased it…
some good oils I did refill the suspension!
Tighten the top cap.
Online u can order a lot of fork seals
@@MisterBanaszak yah, just need dimensions of the seals to order them online, lol. As Patton's, Sherman's original cost x3 more
5w oil vs 10w? wich one is preffered, summer, winter
The hotter it gets then u get less viscosities… winter it gets thicker…
It’s all personal what u like but when u bottomout a lot or is to soft go thicker!
bonjour, connais- tu un distributeur de la patton en Belgique ? Merci pour les infos
Bonjour Raphael,
avez-vous un télégramme?
Cordialement Robin
I got a s22 coming alongside the patton coming in soon. Can you compare the two?
Yes I can make a separate video for this because I got both wheels!
They have both great advantages…
@@MisterBanaszak That would be great if you could make a comparison video and what in your opinion is the better wheel. I'm still deciding which suspension wheel to buy, the S22 pro or the Patton. I'm not much of a off road rider, but with the right wheel, that may change. Thanks.

Great Vid! Can you tell me how much oil i have to put in there at reassembly?
For me it works fine with 200ml
Thx very much! Are the Forks the same as sherman s? So same 200ml or a little more you think?
U can measure the stock oil capacity what’s in the shock if yours not leaking, when u change the oil because u don’t get any info for repairing it yourself! I have a friend in my group that has the Sherman s and I will ask him to check this…
Yes thx for input
@@MisterBanaszak any update from your friend regarding how much oil he used? I wish FastAce would have a service manual for it
How long is that spring inside? Trying to see if i can find other options for my patton
Yeh on the forums u can follow it because there are progressive springs for Patton so not so quick bottomout…
Yes that was what i was hoping, thankyou (just dont know where to look on the forums)
@BlazingPhoenix_ Yeh I did not measure it but soon I’m doing a 66lbs progressive spring swap on Patton…
i hope it works, i also want to but im not sure at what amount of kilometers is a good moment to do it
I just discovered that I have some significant oil leak as well. Do you think I can just tighten the 32mm bolt without taking the wheel apart? Or do I need to do that and add more oil? I've only had the wheel about 1.5 months, but prob noticed the oil leak about 2-3wks ago but did not realize it was coming from the SS (I thought it was water).
It’s hard to get to the 32mm bolt and u need to remove the battery case for it! Hope it is the only thing that needs to be fixed… good luck with it!
How is the 200ml working, still on that or did you adjust anything?
Still works fine and no more leaking!
@@MisterBanaszak and just to clarify! Was it 200ml total both shocks or 200ml per shock? 😅
@@RonnieRides 1side 200ml around that… don’t take my word for it haha but it’s fine still after 800km
How much oil did you use to refill the forks?
Around 200ml give or take…
🥰
Bad hair day?🤯
