Marzocchi has basically been using it all along, and it's gotten lots of tweaks and improvements, but the bomber chassi with coil springs was what harnessed it and made it work really well. Marzocchi and Rockshox used shimmed dampers in their earlier forks, like the Mag21 and XC700, but rockshox kind of dropped the idea.

Shimmed pistons are what have worked in MX for a long time. This allows the bike to not be so 'bouncy' at low speed, so it can have a little more rebound damping, and then at high speed it can keep up with the bumps without getting harsh. The low-speed bleed orofice is the one that's usually adjustable externally. You can have a shimmed rebound circut and again a low-speed bleed orofice.

Shims can also be used to control the rebound on the opposite side of the piston. Most quality front forks have a shim-stack piston. Most rear shocks have some sort of shim-stack piston, even many of the SPV ones like the 5th element. The shim stack should vary for different weight riders, although this is dependant on the variety of forces. This is how high speed impacts are dealt with. With a low shaft-speed impact, oil is allowed to flow through the low-speed bleed orofice.Ī high shaft speed impact tries to move the oil through the orofice faster than it can physically move, so this added force will 'bend' the shims and allow more oil flow through the piston. There's orofices in a piston, shims (looks like a pyramid of small thin washers, and acts like a spring) that cover the orofice, and usually some sort of low-speed bleed orofice that is not covered by the shim, or the shim simply doesn't cover the entire orofice.

This is how most quality damping systems and MX stuff deals with high speed impacts. In November, executives reportedly warned the declines had extended into the crucial holiday quarter.He's referring to a shimmed-piston damper. sales fell 6 percent in its third fiscal quarter. And -January 10, 2017- QVC reported that their U.S. sales for QVC began to experience “significant headwinds” in early June and the sales declines “have averaged in the mid to high single digit percentages” as compared to prior periods. back in reported that QVC's earnings release noted that U.S. Perhaps inflation is finally rearing its ugly head with the think thats what all retailers are battling now, inflation-but Qurates problems go way way back before inflation, or the pandemic.and even before Amazon began grabbing a lot of the retail business. Management please get these hosts to stay on point and talk about the products that are being is getting to be more and more of a seems some of the host's main focus is to have fun on the job rather than give potential customers info to MAKE A SALE!!!! No wonder QVC's revenue and sales keep definitely agree! I still can't believe that QVC isn't making use of their biggest asset of being able to see and describe their products much better on air than the online retailers, or catalogs either.īut I will say that both Walmart and Target had awful first quarters too. Not interested in hearing about your daughter going to a ball game I don't tune to hear about activities of your family. Since we can't actually try the shoes on and there are so many different brands it's nice to know what to do because it varies from shoe brand to shoe brand which size to get. Instead of letting customers that wear a half size if they should go down or up to the next size they didn't. They just presented a pair of fishermen shoes that were only in whole sizes in the medium width. Perhaps inflation is finally rearing its ugly head with the am currently watching Courtney and Jane on shoe shopping with Courtney and Jane program.
