Ran both a TALAS 36 and a U turn coil Lyric on mine.
Lyric was miles better IMHO.

Got marzocchi 55's on mine and they suit it perfectly. Usually have it set to about 130mm for general riding and only wind it out to 160mm when the trail goes downhill for some time.

In fact, I usually forget to wind it out to 160mm, and never have any issues.

Fox 36 or Talas if you need it for on the fly
adjustments cant say I will want to stand around
to wind down or up a fork or even worse trying wind to adjust
the fork whilst going down hill.?

reckon my choice would be the new 2010 lyrik coil, but if the spring size won't work for you then the lyrik solo air model instead

i'd go for the lyric coil 170mm. not that i've tried it but reckon it would fit the bill.

Sore, huge, funny looking ๐Ÿ™‚ I've already started pedal modifications and converting the commuter back to gears. I think 44:16 will be tough on one leg.
