With respect to Papa Bear's interpretation I think the Vanilla has a different spring which will affect stiction , lots of people imagine this or that fork, or this or that type of seal to have more or less stiction. Most high-end forks in good condition and recently serviced, have very similar stiction. Stiction is far easier to judge when you've isolated the friction parts. For instance. You'll find that you cannot tell the difference. Similarly, insert only one leg in the lower and move it up and down.
A Fox is a Rox lower, a Fox in a Fox etc etc. There is no noticeable difference. Once the fork is assembled at the air spring pumped, things get muddled and imagination runs rife. The only real reduced-stiction seal I've seen is one that Marzocchi commissioned from Japanese seal company Nokon. This particualr after-market seal isn't made to last long. However, it absolutely glides over the stanchion with a noticeable swiftness and lack of friction.
It is intended for once-off use in competition. Clearly this solution is not practical for you and I. PM Crow as well maybe. He has actually spent time on both and also felt the Float is a smoother ride.
Seems you must be a mechanic? Have heard people saying that the float is more plush but that made no sense as they seem to be so similar?
I have to pedal up to get down so though the adj travel may help. More NB though is the overall ride of the fork. Like the black of the Talas to match the frame too ;-. The new TALAS system has much lower friction than the current version, as the new design reduces the number of seals required. If you want to customize your travel range, you can do so in five-millimeter increments just by unthreading the top cap and adding or removing spacers.
We rode the new TALAS system on the millimeter platform, but it will be used across all platforms and all wheel sizes. For the overall compression ratio increases, with the mid-stroke valve getting an extra boost to provide the extra support.
I found the fork to be a vast improvement over previous offerings. Sitting higher up in the travel, I was more confident when the going got steep, and cornering was much more predictable. Talas Vs. Float Thread starter Soul-Rider Start date Mar 20, Soul-Rider Likes Dirt. I have just bought a Float 36 from my LBS. It's a fork for a mm Yeti SB5c so I don't think that it's a bad idea. Fox have modified the travel adjust system since then but does anyone have any real world experience?
Should I get the float fork that I ordered or is the Talas going to perform as well? I truthfully think that the feature will be a little wasted on me as I've never really wanted or needed travel adjust, but as long as there are now drawbacks then perhaps I'll give it a go! They changed the Talas in to be a hydraulic system and there is a lot less drag than the old type. I had one for a couple of years had no issues with it causing stiction although the Talas system eventually got air in it and was slow to return to full travel at times.
Didn't matter much since I used it at full extension all the time anyway. If you don't need the travel adjust I reckon stick with a Float. More simple, lighter, and less complications. Normally I would agree with you, the extra complication would turn me off a talas. But the big mismatch in travel on the SB5c makes me think that it may be a good idea. As long as I know that there is no difference in performance. There seems to be a susprising lack on info on this online.
Or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places? It does require twice the air pressure of a float. Maybe get a float which should suit your frame better?
