OMG i...i..no words for this bike

Lenny-Twenny (Apr 9, 2010 at 6:57)

I still can work out how it pivots??

nz-brendan (Jun 15, 2010 at 23:28)

nice brake hose!

nouser (Aug 1, 2010 at 17:23)

lenny twenny, the pivot is around the BB, so there is no chain growth. alowing for single speed, fully

22

mrobinson (Sep 3, 2010 at 1:53)

can someone please tell me how that linkage works... i cant seem to figure it out.

20

nouser (Sep 3, 2010 at 13:51)

it works almost like a single pivot. the BB pivots, and the shock is mounted to the seattube. and so the swingarm doesnt damage the shock, the linkage piece at the top acts like a hook, with ratio that compresses the shock less than the actual movement of the swing arm. Correct me if i am wrong.

11

dingus (Sep 6, 2010 at 15:59)

It looks like the shock is mounted to the rear triangle/swingarm, notice the bolts at the bottom of the shock.

10

nz-brendan (Sep 8, 2010 at 18:23)

it is.....

harry-h (Sep 24, 2010 at 12:01)

the other advantages are that it makes Hardtail geometry more possible

luckynumber13 (Mar 3, 2010 at 7:30) (Below Threshold)

nope dobermann le pink the geo on the le ink is soo much better even though the killswitch looks better

21

cranxwork (Mar 3, 2010 at 7:38)

All these bikes are good and it mainly seems to come down to personal opinion. It does seem that BlkMrkt have put a lot of effort into making this as good as it could be.

31

samhunnisett (Mar 3, 2010 at 10:18)

there is also the dartmoore shine.

21

luckynumber13 (Mar 5, 2010 at 13:53)

freeriderayward (Mar 7, 2010 at 13:07)

21

samhunnisett (Mar 8, 2010 at 10:07)

willy94 (Mar 4, 2010 at 19:16)

31

DylanHunter (Mar 4, 2010 at 19:25)

10

nikiskara (May 26, 2010 at 13:34)

do you mean an adapter for the axle? 20mm in the centre, and 10mm on sides to fit the dropouts...
