Question on fork options for 100mm sus corrected frame

[PanoIgano]

Hi everyone,

I am warming up on the idea of getting a 97' hardtail frrame (for V-Brakes) that is speced for 100mm suspension forks.

If I want to go rigid and use a fork that has the correct axle to crown measurements (I believe that's 482mm for most 100mm sus forks) what are my options?

I would imagine most of the non-sus fork that are suspension corrected with an 482mm of axle to crown are made for disks?

Thanks for guiding me through my options (if any).

Regards,
Panos

A good place to start:

So take a Fox F100 at 470mm, allow 20mm static sag, gets you to 450mm a/c. There are many 26” wheel forks around at 440 a/c. Finding a v-brake one will be a little trickier.

Thanks a lot!

In fact I was counting on a Fox F100 and their 470mm the a-c measurement to go cause this is the one sus fork used the most with the frame in mind (its a MOOTS YBB btw). Also, I wasn't factoing in static sag. That's good to know.

Unfortunately, P2s don't have more than 430mm a-c. So these are out of the question.
