Hey the bike im getting comes with a 180mm 1.5" Travis SC. It comes with the TPC Dampening in the right leg. Ive had a Sherman before. I was thinkin it would be pretty sweet to tke the Travis and also put the SPV in the left leg. Than you can have ultimate adjustability. Im wondering first off if this is even possible? Or if they would mix well together at all. Let me know your thoughts

Thanks

First: Why? The Travis is a wicked fork as is.
Second: Call James at OGC (Manitou Warrenty/repair), he'll give you the low down.

Umm, you need to have a spring side.

And why would you ever want anything to mess with the TPC+ goodness?

:lol:

Not possible. Left leg is your spring, you could however put SPV, TPC or Intrinsic into the right leg…

well that wasnt exactly the response i was expecting, but it is a silly idea

to explain: i know the tpc is good and all, but i like the fact that you can adjust the rampup with the spv, so i thought id be ok to get the best of both worlds…shortly after posting this up i realized that it wouldnt work b/c of lack of spring…so yah, it was an idea

SPV was one of the the biggest FLOPS in fork technology of all time. I think one day we will look back on it the same way we do now on elastomer forks years ago.

SPV is not a flop. it works amazing on the XC style forks. like mins and nix ect. no complants there. just not the type of platform you want on a big fork like 05 slider or 04 ect.
