My 2011 140 Talas with Fit cartridge feel very plush (much more so than the 09’s)
The 2011 Float is supposed to be more plush than the Talas.

Bos Deville 140mm.Excellent fork

Devilles are £750 at the moment,so a very good price

Oscillate off here had his Floats done a couple of weeks ago, no doubt he’ll be along soon

and like magic he appears 🙂

yeah did the fit upgrade, must say they are a definite improvement over open ones they replace (which were only a year old under)…

they absorb hits much better deep in the travel, the smooth out any rough descents, ie roots and the likes….

they took about 2 weeks riding to become a nice plush feeling, as im sure any forks do, but once i got past the initial bedding in period im getting pretty much full travel and the smoothness is immense, marketing hype or not i definitely noticed an improvement in tracking the front end when its in use…

forks also needed a service, so combining it with a fit upgrade only cost £100 extra or there abouts after the service cost i needed doing is taken into account!

and another added bonus is they seem a bit lighter too, which im correct in thinking as the damper is lighter inside due to less oil…

i only went for the RL, i didnt want the RLC model as its too much dials and too much fannying around! simple lockout, and rebound adjust at the bottom, not been touched since got it how i like!

AND THE BIGGEST BONUS OF ALL, THE LOCKOUT DOESNT CATCH ON ANY OTHER DIALS!!!!!

if i was to buy them as a retail fork id be happy with the purchase, BUT the price of them new is ridiculous, id probably head over and try rockshox again if buying from scratch…as it is i upgraded 2010 model open baths to new FIT RL and new decals, the whole shebang and they look like new!

get in touch with loco if you are considering it, its definitely worth it, turnaround took 2 bloody days! amazing!

haha! there was no ‘bloody’ fighting involved, in fact he may have shed alot of blood and sweat getting them back out to me so fast, BOOM! 😳

certainly not fighting though 😆 8)

I had my 2005 36 Talas R forks upgraded with the FIT damper by mojo about a month ago, I posted on here about it at the time.

Its definately worth doing, the forks are significantly improved now, and seem to be getting better every time I ride the bike. I guess they’re bedding in still.

They are super smooth, very well controlled, and they are ~100 grams lighter than they used to be.

Just seen the post – two hundred and sixty quid! – of course you’re going to say they’re a significant improvement at that price!

Doubt I would notice any difference TBH..

yeah, id go with that comment too, not on the car front as i could only dream of owning a 26k car…

my ugprade cost – £200 with new decals and postage back, services alone are 90quid at mojo…

so ive paid 110 for the decals, new damper and postage back….and then to top it off sold the open bath damper for £50…

so £60 difference for me, i got a bargain, all told when worked out for a prodcut thats changed my forks to brand new!

performace started to come into its own after about 3 weeks, i was a little dubious at first as it felt harsh riding them, when first received back, since the bed in period, they have been pretty amazing!

as somebody else above said, after bedding in they actually seem to get better and better each ride!

ridethelakes, the FIT is a significant weight saving over the open bath 36 Float R, but over the old 36 cart, it’s the performance that’s the advantage for a small weight penalty.
More consistent and progressive damping due to the manner the FIT cart works.
Once you ride them you’ll see the difference. A slight incresae in unsprung mass is offset by improved damping. There’s aways a trade off with weight/performance with suspension, the FIT favours the performance side.
