TALAS or not to TALAS...

[genpowell71]

I'm getting back from Iraq here soon, and I'm planning on buying a Switchblade. My issue is that I cant decide between the TALAS option and the regular travel ride. I've spec'd both on the custom bike builder, and both have great parts on it. I just cant decide which one. Any thoughts on the matter?

I want one. I like the one I tried very much. Feels right to me.....jdcamb

I'm quite happy with the TALAS. It's not the lightest fork but it works very nicely.

I think he means the rear shock...

You'd better stick with the normal shocks, because setting it up in 5,6" travel position with that same TALAS, your head angle will be way to steep. I thought it already was 70 degrees in 4,5" mode with the TALAS...
