Reliability

I have the TALAS now, but I am replacing the seals for the third time this year. I am looking for something reliable.
If you're concerned about reliability issues, then I don't know that Manitou has the answer for you. They have been very hit or miss on quality. A couple of thoughts if I may. Try using a different set of seals. Enduro Seals (
www.enduroseals.com) have an excellent reputation, and the website has thorough installation isntructions including pics. Hopefully this is not a route you've tried yet, as it will save you a ton of money and aggrivation. Another option would be a Rock Shox Reba. I'm no Rock Shox gan, but the reviews on this fork are outstanding. Lastly, I'm very much a Marzoccho proponent, and would recommend looking at some of the Marathon products as a potential.
Best wishes in finding an answer to your dilemma.
