So basically Im not using the travel adjustment that much and wondering if it would be "feasable" to convert my Talas to a Float.

I couldn't find enough info on FOX tech center to lead me to think its possible .I guess it could be a bit costly but does anyone know if it can be done?

Both Air springs look completely different I know but if I could get the air spring,top cap would I be in business?

A free converter is available for this mod. There are two basic designs. one is a thin paper sheet printed with green ink, they come in a range of denominations. The other is digital.

-It won't cost you anything to sell your forks and buy a set of actual float 36. Good chance you could even turn a profit.

There is a 0.3 pound (4.8 oz) difference between the Float and Talas, I really don't think the weight savings makes this conversion worth it. If you still want to do it though, call up Fox and ask. Who knows it may be as simple as a new top cap & new "plunger" at the bottom.

I was kidding about the weight...The Talas is a total pain in the ass to service compare to a Float and has more stiction than a Float IMO...
