Xx motion control damper xloc5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() That said, the XLoc has a Floodgate control knob on it, and if you dial it all the way open, it provides something similar to a platform with good suspension motion, but it still won’t be quite as plush as when the lockout is turned off. So, you don’t have any compression adjustment externally. With the XX Motion Control, you get the thermoplastic compression tube and the hydraulic remote that either fully opens or fully closes the ports. It only moves about 3mm total, which tells you how little the compression tube actually compresses to do its job. Turning the Floodgate knob sets how much the tube will compress before it pokes the valve cover out. This fully opens the oil flow for one hit, allowing the fork to soak up the hit, then a spring pushes it closed again (shown below). When you hit something really big while locked out, the tube will compress enough for the poker to, literally, poke the compression valve cover out, as shown above. The ti or plastic compression tubes will compress slightly even when the fork is locked, allowing several millimeters of travel. Well, in the real world, the fork should still move slightly to allow it to track well. When you have the fork locked out, that essentially means the compression oil ports are closed, so no oil can flow and the fork can’t move. The other feature that’s built into the the Motion Control assembly is Floodgate, which is what sets the blowoff threshhold when the fork is locked out. And that’s where that technically named piece called “the poker” comes into play. That, and a titanium compression tube versus a thermoplastic one. These tubes are what control the lockout blowoff in conjunction with the Floodgate: So, the big difference between BBMC and MC is the secondary compression damping via the shim stack. During slow speed compression the oil simply flows around the shim stack…it only comes into play on large hits. The multiple ports let the oil flow through the shim stack evenly rather then coming at it all from one side. ![]() Why? Because there is a small shim stack behind the ports to control high speed compression damping (for when you drop off something or hit something really hard). Shown on the right, this means you get a slightly differently shaped valve cover (the bronze piece) that lets oil flow through multiple ports. With Blackbox Motion Control, you get Dual Flow compression damping. The more you close it, the more restricted the oil flow is and the slower your compression damping becomes. So, when you turn the blue compression knob at the top of the right fork leg, you’re changing the size of the oil flow port. They’re fuzzy because we used a very linty rag to wipe the oil off before we photographed them, they don’t look like that normally. Shown directly above is Motion Control’s compression damping port fully open (left) and closed (right). Unlike many other suspension forks, Rockshox’s Motion Control mostly eschews shim stacks in favor of simple ports. Jump past the break to see how they work to control the compression… Again, this is explained better in a sec. Technically, you also have XX Motion Control, but it is essentially the same as Motion Control without the adjustable compression damping. Motion Control DH is a little different and we didn’t take a look at that on this visit (update will come if we can get photos of that system, but I’ll explain how and why these versions are mainly for XC use versus DH).įor XC / Trail / All Mountain type riding, you have two options depending on how much you wanna spend on your fork: Motion Control and Blackbox Motion Control. The parts above are what make up the Motion Control for their XC oriented forks. If you recall, we posted a tech article on how Fox Racing Shox’s Terralogic works recently, and it’s really cool to see how different companies use completely different mechanisms to accomplish a similar end result (and by similar, I’m not comparing performance, just the fact that all suspension brands want damping, etc.). I took a little tour of Rockshox’s Colorado Springs, CO, facility yesterday and had Sander Rigney, RS’s product manager, run through their Motion Control compression damping system for me. ![]()

The novellas on the game’s website were also ( mostly) officially translated, but other side materials, such as the Story Side Novel and manga spinoffs, never got an official release.

Good day on my mind5/1/2023 ![]() I lived with a friend when I got home, and worked quickly to start a business. After two years in prison I had lost everything, and left with $200.00 to my name (note: the joy of freedom has no price). ![]() There's freedom in purging your life of all that you own. "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." - Tyler Durden. I used all different types of objects to visually rid myself of negative thoughts. For instance, "I'm never going to be able to accomplish my startup goals while sitting in this prison cell." Instead of letting that thought fester, I would envision the thought as a big pile of rubbish, and envision a bulldozer pushing that thought and pile of trash, right out of the edge of my mind. When a negative thought came into my mind, I would use some sort of tool or instrument to get it out. While in prison, I would use this mental trick I learned: It is vital in those times you focus even harder on taking those thoughts captive, and discipline yourself to replace them with positive thoughts. ![]() In bleak circumstances the mind is prone to more negativity. That means you need to have at least 10,950,001 positive thoughts per year. To have a positive healthy emotional state, your positive thoughts must outweigh the negative. Let's do some quick math: 60,000 thoughts per day x 365 days per year = 21,900,000 thoughts per year. The more positive thoughts you have, the more success you obtain. Everyone has negative thoughts, but the truly mental tough are able to capture those negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Mental toughness is centered around your thoughts. The mind has roughly 60,000 thoughts per day. Will power is not the answer, self image is. You will act like the sort of person you want to be. ![]() Bike workshop stand home made5/1/2023 ![]() ![]() These self-made stands will help you to save time and money from maintaining your bike at the workshop.

Shazam last noted that it passed 1 billion downloads, but that was back in September 2016, meaning those numbers are likely higher now.īut in the world of apps, high numbers do not always translate into profits: In September 2017, Shazam reportedly made £40.3 million ($54 million) in revenues in its 2016 fiscal year, which was a turnaround from the declines between FY 20. Kleiner Perkins also invested in competitor SoundHound. In all, Shazam has raised $143.5 million from investors that include Kleiner Perkins, London’s DN Capital, IVP and strategic investors Sony Music, Universal Music and Access Industries (which owns Warner Music). Notably, though, the numbers we’ve heard are lower than the $1.02 billion (according to PitchBook) post-money valuation the company had in its last funding round, in 2015. One source describes the deal as in the nine figures another puts it at around £300 million ($401 million). We have heard that the deal is being signed this week, and will be announced on Monday, although that could always change. Sources tell us that the company is close to acquiring Shazam, the popular app that lets people identify any song, TV show, film or advert in seconds, by listening to an audio clip or (in the case of, say, an ad) a visual fragment, and then takes you to content relevant to that search.

Their Constitution ability score is increased by one, and either their Strength or Dexterity is increased by one, depending on the subrace.Ībilities include Antimagic Susceptibility, Blindsight, False Appearance, Mendable, and Soul Transfer. Their exact size depends on the suit of armor they inhabit, but they are considered medium. Animated Armors has the following features: The homebrew race of Animated Armor goes into great detail, explaining how you were created, how you became sentient, and how different mechanics in the game would affect such a construct. This unique race lets you play as a magically awakened suit of armor, just like those you might find in magical museums or haunted mansions. However, these are some of the best homebrew races out there. The homebrew landscape is always evolving and growing. While homebrew comes in many shapes and forms, classes and races are some of the more transformative and exciting things to play around with. Since that's how many players and DMs feel, there exists a gigantic library of fanmade content for the game, AKA homebrew.
