Rigid fork ideas (modern)

I've got some Salsa Cromoto's on my rigid winter bike, and love them. Not anywhere near as light as the carbon options though!

Just had a search and found a link to the build... viewtopic.php?f=21&t=224716&hilit=lobster

Cheers for the replys, still not hit the buy button but closing down on it.

Regarding the offset I understand that increasing the offset will slow down the handling, no idea what my current forks are but how noticable will this be? Those salsa forks in 29'er guise have a 45offest compared to the pace' 50 offset.

When I mentioned I liked the way it rode I was refering more to the angles rather than the obvious change going from sut to rigid would make. As I said the current sagged length of my fork is 470mm which puts me in 29'er rigid fork teritory.

I think iv gone off the idea of carbon as it would play on my mind, I think steel is probably the way I want to go. Are there any other decent forks iv missed.

I also need to find an adaptor for my hub to run QR unless someone knows of a rigid steel fork with 15mm bolt through?
