NOT TPC+, just TPC, The plus was updated. the old TPC ones had some issues with needing frequent maintenance. I dont remember if the travis ever had the old TPC though, so dont flame me if it didnt.

Nice feeling fork though!

I cant afford a pike, and have the option to get a travis, and a supra front wheel with a nevgal tre, for 200 dollers

stick to the streets it would be a rough ride and heavy because the bike is intentioally overbuilt

but the problem is, my mom works in a doctors office, and I have had to many concussions to be allowed to ride street, or DJ again. So I am looking to the hills. (sorry, bad analogy)
