To use the holdfasts, just place over your work piece and whack the top right on the round bar. My welding skills leave much to be desired so I had to do a lot of grinding to clean up the milkshake like welds. My little welder did surprisingly well and I had it cranked all the way up for these welds. I then dug out my harbor freight welder and attached the flat to the bar. I needed to use pliers and a hammer to bend that one so I would suggest just using a torch to get focused heat on the bend points.

Once the weather cools down a bit, I'll hit the trails for a real test ride and to make final adjustments. Consult the RockShox service manual for your fork for complete disassembly and assembly procedures. I'm now a happy camper! Rode it home without any problems. ![]() The shock remains fully open without having to hold the button. Now you hear the click when the button is half way pressed. Here comes XLoc Full Sprint, which allows you to lock your SID or Revelation XX fork and your Monarch XX rear shock with the simple push of your thumb. One of the guys finally discovered that if you hold the button all the way down, then the shock fully opened! But if you let go, it stiffened back up. You could audibly hear the click when you push in the remote, but the clicking happened when you pushed it in all the way. I was persistent and kept taking it back after every ride.įinally, a couple of the older guys at the shop rode it and agreed that something is wrong. It was clearly way too stiff when unlocked. Cannondale purposely made it really stiff cause cross country riders want it to be stiff. Initially, I was told by a couple of salesmen and techs that this is how it's supposed to be. I didn't want to mess with it and then be blamed for screwing it up. Internals and chassis parts designed for SID B (120mm max travel) are not compatible with SID A (100mm max travel). Since my bike is less than 30 days old, I wanted the shop to fix this problem. Where the alloy cans have a tiny nub on the outside where the check valve is, there’s a small hump on the carbon shell.Thanks for everyone's input. The Monarch XX and RT3 use a Solo Air design to set the negative pressure automatically. Boobar says there’s no additional wear on the inside of the carbon can versus their alloy can, and they use a proprietary resin and construction method to keep the oil from affecting the resin or seeping through. The carbon air can is full carbon except a small aluminum seal gland (opposite end of what’s shown here) that provides a much higher tolerance precision to keep the seal tight and properly positioned. MSRP is $540 for the carbon version, which is the only one available aftermarket. So, for now, rest easy knowing that they’ve thought about it but are stopping short of saying they’re presently working on it. Unfortunately, the amount of flow and pressure required to unlock the shock is too different from what makes their forks work. Yes, they’ve looked at doing a dual XLoc lever to simultaneously lockout the shock and an XX fork, but Boobar says if it were an easy solution, they’ be leading with it. The rebound damping is controlled by the red knob, which has one slightly larger nub to provide a visual clue as to it’s position within the range of settings. The Monarch RT3, by comparison, keeps it’s three distinct compression settings, making it the better option for riders that still want some (albeit much firmer) suspension in the third setting. So, the lockout is created hydraulically rather than mechanically.

Repaired under warranty by Fishers (having sent the forks back to Merlin first). It gets a completely different damper than the RT3, much more similar to the internals of the Ario. For anyone that’s interested, the issue was hydrolock caused by a faulty lockout. ![]() Rockshox says they did this because it keeps the system very simple and because their athletes said they wanted a hardtail feel when it was locked. There’s no Floodgate, so when it’s locked it’s fully rigid. Speaking of performance, the XLoc remote works just like with the forks, press it in for action, release it to lock things out. Its countless mounting options (left and right, below or above the bar, tall or standard clamp) make it an ideal companion for SRAMs drivetrain, brakes and RockShoxs Reverb remote. Product manager Jeremiah Boobar says that’s a significant drop in weight without sacrificing any performance when you look at the percentage. This hydraulic lockout offers completely sealed and dependable suspension fork or rear shock lockout control through the click of an easy-to-reach button that.133.00 to 148. Like the carbon Monarch RT3, the carbon air can only saves 15g, but it’s worth mentioning that 15g is fully half the ~30g weight of the alloy air can.

Notice that the parameter value is highlighted in purple, whereas the field is shown in orange, just like in Tableau Desktop.

However, as good as the aesthetics are, none of this would matter if the actual game design wasn’t up to par. It’s a great soundtrack in general, and one that would have gotten even more praise had Last Impact actually been a ‘real’ Nintendo 64 game. Or even the somewhat techno sounding Colossal Circuits theme, which fits the high tech feel of the level perfectly: Forested Temple may have been composed for Final Fantasy VII, but it fits Last Impact just as well: What’s stranger, these actually fit some of Last Impact’s worlds at least as well as they did their source game. On the ported front, you have some really impressive renditions of songs from the likes of the Zelda and Final Fantasy series. Oh no, the soundtrack is pretty good too… Musicīecause damn, the mix of ported songs and original compositions both sound excellent and fit the levels absolutely perfectly. But the new enemies like the giant Piranha Plants, the space aliens and the Blarggs feel much better modelled than most characters from the olden days.Įither way, it’s impressive, especially for a fan made game.īut the graphics aren’t the only great thing here. Yeah, the ones from the original Mario 64 didn’t change much, with Mario and Bowser being about the same as they always were. Character models seem a lot more rounded and detailed than those in most actual Nintendo 64 games.They’re just more visually interesting and unique locations than say, yet another ice world or yet another volcano world. In addition to that, you then have a space station, a world made of food, a casino and even Rainbow Road from Mario Kart as explorable worlds. Oh sure, you’ve got a few grasslands, a desert and a beach world, but that’s only the boring stuff here. ![]() The themes are interesting and varied enough to stand out. Even compressed to N64 standards, these look a ton better than the equivalents from the original time period. Like say, ledges and tileset graphics from the likes of Mario Kart and the Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker. So why does it look so good? Well, three reasons really: Indeed, if it was released in the N64 days, this game would have gotten a ton of acclaim for its visuals. Put simply Super Mario 64: Last Impact’s graphics are ten times better than those in the original Super Mario 64, and honestly about on par with some of Rare’s games from the era. Starting with one of the aspects the game does far better than its source material the graphics. It’s not as easy as the original, sure, but it’s also not broken as most of the other mods for the title out there either.īut let’s look a bit closer, in the official Gaming Reinvented review of Super Mario 64: Last Impact! Graphics As the review shows, Super Mario 64: Last Impact may actually be one of the better designed, more ‘fair’ ROM hacks I’ve ever played. He's green, rather than purple! The Super Mario RPG footage starts at 4:12.Indeed, it got so much hype, some people said it’s the best Mario 64 hack of all time.īut how good is it really? How does Kaze’s work compare with an official game?ĭoes it make the same mistakes as 90% of ROM hacks and fan games? By featuring a difficulty curve that’s simply broken to hell? An killing players through tricky jumps right off the bat? Nimbus Land's palace is less overgrown-looking, and the reptilian thief Croco looks very different. While most of the differences are small (Yo'ster Island doesn't have a race track yet, for instance), there are a couple of biggies to be found. ![]() The second snippet of beta footage was uploaded back in March, and it contains a unique look at Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Did you forget his shout of pain is provided by the agonized wail made famous by Mel Blanc voicing unfortunate cartoon animals suffering extreme trauma? Now you remember. I'd seen screenshots of the "cut" slide ride level before, but never assumed you reached it though Cool Cool Mountain.Īlso, dig the placeholder voices Mario has in this footage. The portrait for the level also features a generic snow-capped mountain instead of the usual snowmen illustration. For example, the Cool Cool Mountain slide ride looks much different than what we get in the final version it's decidedly less icy, and there are smiling moons and stars decorating the black abyss waiting to swallow Mario if he makes one wrong turn. Super Mario 64 beta footage has been posted before-most surprisingly by a British video game show that did some naughty recording at Space World 1995 without asking permission-but the Game Catalogue 2 roll gives us even more insight as to how these mysterious levels fit together. ![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, you will get a copy of Abby’s eBook “10 Days to Faster Reading”.

In terms of build quality, the 18-200mm is pretty much what we might expect for a £169 lens. Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC – Build and handling The supplied petal-shaped hood fits via a bayonet mount and can be reversed neatly when the lens isn’t in use. An internal focusing mechanism means the 62mm filter thread doesn’t rotate, simplifying the use of polarising filters. Optical image stabilisation is built in and is more or less essential on a lens this long, with such a modest maximum aperture. Other superzooms tend to use more special elements, and this undoubtedly helps explain the Tamron’s low cost. The optical formula of 16 elements in 14 groups includes one hybrid aspherical element and one low-dispersion glass element to reduce aberrations such as distortion and chromatic aberration. Like other superzooms, the Tamron 18-200mm’s best results come from shooting raw and applying lens corrections during processing This means a subject of 9.4×6.2cm will fill the frame, making the lens handy for close-ups, although Sigma’s equivalent focuses even closer. It’s also capable of focusing as close as 50cm, which gives a maximum magnification of 0.25x at the telephoto position. ![]() The most important feature of this lens is its broad zoom range, which is equivalent to 28-300mm in 35mm full-frame terms so it covers a hugely useful wideangle to telephoto span. But at such a low price, can the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 possibly be any good? Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC – Features Its closest competitor, the Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM, costs £250, while Canon and Nikon’s own 18-200mm lenses will set you back around £360 and £550 respectively. But at just £169, the Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC is the cheapest lens of its type by some margin. Superzooms are therefore often considered ideal lenses for travel photography.Īnother argument against this type of lens has previously been price: until now it’s always been significantly cheaper to add a budget telezoom to your kit. Likewise, if you’re using your camera in dusty or humid conditions, or simply want to travel light, being able to cover everything from wideangle to telephoto without having to change lenses can be a genuine advantage. But if you’re travelling with family or friends, and you don’t want to hold them up constantly, it might well matter. If you’re out on your own, taking your time, this is no big deal. While there’s certainly an element of truth to this, it overlooks one fundamental advantage – that you can cover a huge range of subjects without having to change lenses between shots. ![]() Because of this, many enthusiast photographers feel they should shun superzooms on principle and instead use two zooms to cover the same focal-length range. Conventional wisdom states that zooms with a 3x range can be optically excellent, and 4x can still be very good, but extend that to 10x or more and the compromises become too great. If there’s one kind of lens that tends to get a bad press, it’s the all-in-one ‘superzoom’. ![]() |
