So I just pulled apart a 08 Travis cartridge, they call it an "air backed intrinsic" damper. Even though it doesnt have a platform feature (unless you count **** loads of stiction as a platform). I had it on my bike for 2days, and it sucked, was super harsh on small bumps, and bottomed out like crazy.
It looks like all that friction was coming from the ifp, it could be that its just not broken in, or needs better o-rings. And I think the bottoming is because of a missing glide-ring or seal where the compression (blue) piston is. The piston is about .715 in diameter the cart is .775" on the inside.
Any ideas on how to get that floating piston moving better?
