[QUOTE="Jeremy Wilkey, post: 981598, member: 17220"] Gentlemen, The TCV is not a traditional bottoming control device as it is know in Showa or other forks. It retains the features of the bottoming "cone" or cylinder along with a long plastic tube. The long plastic tube creates an effective orifice that is not restrictive or velocity squared, but it does provide a significant amount of viscous drag or damping, which is relatively linear in response. The length of the Tube is over 100mm and that causes the fork to have a rather sluggish feel midstroke in some circumstances. As the fork continues into the deeper portion of the stroke it engages with a traditional tapered hydro stop. When you remove the check valve on the forks equipped with one you reduce the effect of the viscous damping, but the hydro stop functions as normal. Interesting to note the 06 Yamaha forks removed the TCV, and use a very short hydro stop, I suspect many suspension shops will be offering an aftermarket cylinder kit. BR, Jer [/QUOTE]
