A while back I tried some frankenbike work and put my 150/130/110 Fox Talas on my HT in place of the stock 100mm Rockshox Fork. I really liked it at the 130 setting and found it and the Hard Tail a great match to my riding. I've been on the lookout for a straight 1-1/8 steerer, 9mm axle, 120-140 fork. They almost don't exist. Along came a few reviews on this thing and in early December I ended up ordering one of these: Manitou Markhor forks for my HT.  https://www.probikesupply.com/products
