Manitou Spyder - Replacement Rigid Fork Idea

[Konarat]

Hey all,

Looking for a replacement fork for a 1999 orange p7. Came with a manitou spyder on but I would like a rigid disc fork ideally to set it up fully disc brake.

A2C measured to me at 435mm (though please correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks

Ignore the hideously bent fork as a stand in... 400mm a2c

Bent?

forks are on backwards and are intended to be rear facing brakes mounts

I don't think that's right, they're bent, there's a disc mount on the left leg.

wow, didnt spot that one

It's not a great angle on the photo but yeah definitely bent

I’ve got Pace RC31 on mine and they’re great.

Thanks. I've been looking at some and they are definitely a contender. Have seen a thread on here with some going, but I'm wondering how they would hold up with a quite heavy loaded bike? Especially depending on previous life etc.

Maybe learning towards steel, but hard to find a decent looking one.

(Wicked build btw )
