FR-Man, Zac the Manitou guy here. Since the Travis is an outdated fork, it likely won't be covered in a Tech Tuesday. That being said, when you are ready to service your fork just drop me a line and I will fill you in on all the important elements of the rebuild. I'll mention one thing right now that people the world over have gotten wrong on the Travis for YEARS- The comp rod ("Spring side") assembly stanchion-end-cap MUST be cleaned, red loc-tited and PROPERLY TORQUED. Most important part, next to performing the very same thing to the comp rod bolt that fastens the casting to the fork. If anyone recalls that image of the Travis lowers blowing off a bike mid-run- "CRITICAL TECHNICIAN FAILURE" (Say it in your best robot voice). Haha.
