    Yeh sorry LoCo – didn't mean to put a dampner on things 🙂 Get it 😉 Got my Order in for the 32"'s anyway 🙂

    😆 I fancy a set of the 32's too 😕 Can I justify a new bike to take a set of 36's 😛

    So will it be worth ensuring my new bike is specced with the new 36's then. Can they really improve them or is it just marketing ?

    For me I have delayed buying the F120's d.t. upper wear/seal problems – I have a tiny bit of wear on my 09' Talas (but service them regularly so not a problem) – thought I would try the Kasmiri (sp misteik 😉 ) Coating – def better than my Float 120 RL performance and weight, I think. However If I had the 2010 F100's I wouldn't bother 🙂

    The Kashima coat is only on aftermarket forks so won't come on standard 'Built' bikes.
    Should be a bit better, I think we're getting to the stage where each year there is a gradual improvement on suspension kit.

    However if your upgrading from say a couple year old set of 32mm forks with an open bath damper the FIT systems would be a big improvement.

    The marketing is always going to play a part too 😉

    Then 36's this year will also be RLC rather than RC2, if that means anything to you 🙂

    As loco said the new kashima coating stuff is only available on after market forks.

    The R cartridges are all open bath on the 36's (inc. the 180s)
    Talas and Float 160 and get FIT RLC
    Vanilla 160 RC2
    All 180 mm get RC2

    Just to confuse everyone 😀

    will there be any 32, 120mm, 1.25 / 1.5" tapered steerer floats available?

    who's taking pre-orders if so…?
