32 Vanillas or TALAS.

Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

Well its designed around a 100mm fork so you have 3 options. Pay mega bucks and buy the Fox F100RLC, use the Fox TALAS and use it soley in the 100mm setting or buy a 2005/2006 F130 or vanilla and get your LBS to change the travel down to 100mm.
If you can go for the F100RLC then do it. If not, my advice would be to get a Rockshox Reba.

Didn't think that one through. CRC only have minimal stock of Fox forks.

all i want is some decent forks, for like normal biking,downhill, crosscountry, pretty much some decent looking forks for everything, and i noticed alot of bikes ive seen about use fox forks, so they must be a decent fork right ?0

Fox are top notch when it comes to forks. But the F100 range is pretty expensive compared to the competition from Rockshox. The Reba is a fantastic fork and its nicely under budget as well.

fox are really good forks, but not really worth the extra over RockShox, which, in many experienced peoples views, are as good, or better than Fox. For example, if you want a light All Mountain Fork, The Revelation would probably be best, If you want all mountain/light freeride, then Pikes, XC- Reba. not may people use f100's because they are so dear for little performance gain over Reba's.
