130mm, no, it would ride lovely, i had 140mm float Rs on mine and it didn't feel right, 130mm RS Revs feel spot on

i wasnt sure if the size of the talas rc36 ones would be too high even set at 130mm as they are a big fork

I was under the impression that the 36 Talas at 130 was the same C2A as a 140 Float 32.

I've got 36 van's on my PA running 160mm (van so no travel adjust) and they're great if not better than that. But I do like slack head angles (planning on changing my heckler with 36's to get something slacker) so it depends how you like your bikes?

Not especially. I had revs on it before and it rides so much better with the 36's on. But as i said i like slack bikes, looking at 66/67 for the head angle on my new one.
