Wanted Rigid fork for 26er conversion (650b/29er)

[ForestNick]

Hi there,

Excuse being a newbie, but also new to swapping out suspension forks with rigid forks : )

I've got a 26" Kinesis XC Pro 3 with 1 1/8 straight 100mm threadless suspension forks & discs. Attempting to do a gravel-like set up eg rigid forks, larger 650b rims, alt bars and gravel tyres.

Looking for a rigid 29er/650b fork to replace with about:
460-480 a/c
200-220 steerer.

Been suggested a Surly, Salsa, Orange F8 might be options??

Thanks

Thanks, I think I spotted those in an old post

Sorted - Rigid disc forks

Carbon any good? I've some unused eXotics I can measure up. Thanks, they could be just what I'm after! Would you be able to measure them up please?

Looks like the length new is for 650b or 29er - I did wonder if a 29er would also work

Unfortunately with the other parts I can't stump that much for new - hoping someone else might have something used?
