Talas/Float conversion 140mm

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone has done a talas to float conversion on a 32mm fork (or who has worked on floats a bit). I've got all the parts but wasn't sure which way the negative spring cup is inserted into the stanchion. Is it so the spring sits inside the cup when installed? Or other way around so cup is upside down and spring sits on outside base of cup if that makes sense. I assembled it dry the first way and have 148mm showing on the stanchion after putting 60 psi in it. That's from top of dust seal lip to crown.

Any input appreciated,

Cheers.

Fox FIT cartridge marks

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I pulled apart my Fox 36 TALAS RC2 forks tonight to replace the semi bath oil in the lowers.

I found the below markings on the black section of the FIT cartridge. Is this wear or is this just nothing? I'm assuming it is not wear as the diameter of the black section is a lot smaller than on the silver FIT cartridge so shouldn't rub on anything.

Any ideas? Any need to be concerned? Thanks
