Interesting you say that.
I acutally ride my Talas at 120mm, and with the ventana 4mm king headset spacer, so effectively a 125mm fork. BUT that is how I have it set up for riding in Michigan, tighter singletrack. I love it that way here.
BUT, I'm getting the new talas that can bump to 140mm so when I head out east or west, to more technical riding I'll have a fork that is effectively 145mm or so as far as ride height.
Have you considered the 07 Talas - that extra 10mm might help you.
I really wish the new Talas would have retained the "dial" for travel adjustment as you can really get the headtube pefect. On the other hand, the Ventana spacers for the king headset sure are nice for that also.
