Sorted Rigid 26" fork (Disc, QR fit, 1&1/8" steerer) Carbon or Alloy

[Fatal Swan]

Looking to try replacing some heavy suspension forks with a lighter rigid option - carbon would be nice but alloy would probably do. Needs to be for 26" wheel, disc brake, standard QR fit, 1 & 1/8" (non-tapered) steerer, will probably need to me 190mm or longer.

Edit - now sorted!

How much steerer tube do you need?

 

[Fatal Swan]

Good point, I'll measure up and confirm - it's for a smallish frame though so shouldn't need to be especially long

 

[Fatal Swan]

20cm would be ideal, could possibly get away with a fraction less though not very much.

Do you know what length axle to crown you need? I have a nearly new MRP Rock Solid fork that's 445mm - lovely fork, just decided to go with something a bit lower.

 

[Fatal Swan]

Not certain of the a-c but the frame was designed for 80-100mm fork so I'm guessing somewhere in the region of 440ish. Unfortunately I think a nearly new MRP Rock Solid is probably a quite a lot too nice for the bike that this is planned for!

With sag taken into account i think more like 410ish would be the ticket. Rake is another issue to get right.

I may have something, will check Monday night.

mcrbikes have a few 410mm AC forks though labelled as 650b, not sure how much the geo would change with that but might be worth a punt, finding rigid forks with those requirements is (atleast when I did similar) a bit of a needle in a haystack. If you did want to try 440ish AC Identiti have some XC forks readily available but steel so maybe a bit weightier than what you want. Exotic Carbon forks spring to mind, On One had some carbon 26ers, think Bontrager had some carbon switchblades. Toseek forks off Aliexpress seem to have a decent reputation too.
