Yea, no problem. I have talked to a few other riders in my area that have fox suspension, and they have been having a few issues with leaking seals but overall performance is similar to the 66, but obviously I am a bit biased towards the 66's compared to the others. Now I see you mentioned that the fox would be a talas, would you be pedalling up hill with it? If you aren't planning on doing pedaling up then i would say a 66 or even a float instead of the talas. The float would be the better choice if you do go with fox as opposed to the talas as it will have less air seals, because is non-travel adjustabe so no need for complicated air chamber systems so less chance of something going wrong. If you are planning on doing some pedalling then I would say to go with the fox talas over the 66 as you will be able to lower the front end, and climb easier, as the 66 is extremely sensitive and makes it very difficult to pedal up the hill, its best suited to going down the hill. To sum that up quickly, if you are doing some pedalling up, then go for the fox, but if you aren't doing any pedalling up, go for the 66. Either way you can't go wrong, both are great forks. I hope this helps you a bit! :)

thanks, and the 66's are totally awesome, no problems whatsoever with them, they are so plush and sensitive it is unbelieveable. Durability wise they are also really good, nothing has worn out on them yet, and nothing looks like it is about to wear out any time soon, and they literally need zero service. I have had only one oil change this season on them in september after riding almost every day this summer and a lot in the spring and even then the oil really didn't need to be changed as it was still fairly clean so for service needs, you really don't need much.

I absolutly love my roco air WC. I also have a coil shock which i ocassionaly put on my bike, and comparing the two, the performance is literally exactly the same, i don't notice any difference when riding with the air shock or the coil. The air shock is also a pound lighter than a coil, and you can really feel it when jumping, the back of the bike won't want to dip down anymore, it will rocket you into the sky. I think switching to air is a good idea.
