BlkMrkt Bikes 2011 Killswitch

 Pro's: amazing bike, fast, rides like it's on rails. everything about it I love. at home wherever a hardtail is at home, but your not bumbed when it comes to trails and single track. it is the most versitile bike i have ever had. I LOVE IT!

Con's: when the shock is on plush the bike becomes very sluggish on trails / street / and parks.

otherwise though it is my favorite bike ever and if it breaks I'm just gonna get another one.

 As fun as fun can get. Hands down the most playful yet forgiving bike I have ever ridden. Takes a little bit to dial in the rear suspension to the exact specs you prefer but once I figured out my compression and rebound settings it was on.

 bought this frame two months ago from chainreactioncycles.com for 1200$ with NO SHOCK had to pay 165$ in duty fees. bought a marzocchi roco rl shock for 250$ on ebay just temporary, found out not only does it not come with a shock but doesnt come with shock mounts either so i bought needle bearing mounts from enduroseals.com for 130$. so all together it came to be verrrrryy expensive. the frame feels amazing to ride. the roco rl with it is decent for how much i paid for it but deffinatly needs compression adjust..... just has rebound and lockout. on trails rebound is decent not as much as the fork ive got on it (marzocchi dj2 20mm) but it helps. While riding to the trail you either keep it on lockout and not hit any little jumps on the way or else you dont lockout and youll be winded even with 160 psi in the shock its still a bit squishy and im 5' 10" 180 pounds i bought the large frame. im planning on buying a fox float CTD rear shock and a fox 36 talas 160 fork. ive figured out that you could use a 7.5" shock on it if you put a little piece of elastomer behind the hammer link. cable routing is superb, hard to find a good chain tensioner that would fit just by looking at pictures so its trial and error. so far ive got a half link chain on it running 25/10 and i have it perfect tension without any tensioners but it would be preferred

pros:- feels great to ride
-decently light for a full sus bike
-true single speed full suspension design (only found on bikes like this, ns bikes soda slope, dartmoor shine and dmr volt(long discontinued))
-replaceable dropouts with option for 12mm axle
-good cable routing
-looks f*cking sexy

cons:-EXPENSIVE
-more expensive than other single speed full sus frames(not the most expensive --->ns bikes soda slope)
-swing arm isnt as tortionally stiff as the soda slope
-dropouts are EXPENSIVE 80$ for a set
-doesnt reach full travel unless the seat is raised like 2 inches or else it rubs on the seat
- expensive......

bottom line..... if youre gonna build one be prepared to drop a tonne of $$$ and wait a while to ride it but i say its amazingly worth it.
you should seriously buy the RWC needle bearing shock eye kits for all your bikes its just the cool factor but for this i got the top with 19.05mm spacing with 0.5mm shims 2 on each side of the eye 8mm diameter hole and on the bottom 41.15mm spacing and use more shims for it

 Had and still sorta got a polished one. Hella sick solid bike, and the suspension is really progressive... Doesn't really compress when pedaling; mostly only from trail chatter and hits. Feels and looks epic!

 Nice light chuckable frame. Good for 4x . Not as recommended for DH. i really like this bike but it is really quite expensive.

 Awesome frame. Feels like a hardtail in the air, and rips trails fairly well. Good investment, and hopefully this'll come with me on my future cycling trips.

 sickly stiff by plush when you need it, rides like a hardtail and can handle the big stuff, got one in polish and it looks so sexy, yet another blk mrkt winner

 Aside from needing tensioners, this bike is everything I dreamed it would be. Single speed, full suspension dj that handles like a hard tail djer.
