straight rigid fork for 29" wheel

[nporternz]

does anyone know if one of these exists - want it suspension corrected for 100mm fork. I rode a trek 69er and loved it so want to use one of my spare frames to build up one like it. so want a straight fork that wont mess with the geometry

lovely forks at a very fair price IMHO.... not if you're in a big hurry though otherwise drop the man a line

Do they have to be steel if so the kona p2 is great value

If carbon i had the bontrager switchblades and would recommend them.

Get a Pipedream Sirius fork - I'm always going on about them but there is nothing to tough them for the money. Bought mine for £45 posted with IS mount faced direct from Pipedream - in black, white or red.

hey - that fork is awesome - can you measure the distance from the top of the tyre to the base of the steerer tube for me?

cheers

Axle to crown is 448 mm.

Clearance with a big fat 2.4 is just over 3 inches. Loads of room for a 29er wheel which I have ummed and ahhed over fitting for ages. If you find a source for a decent ready built 29er disc wheel please share it!
