Rigid Forks?

Doki said:

Anyone know of a rigid MTB fork that's not made to be a super strong jump
fork? I want rid of my MTB's knackered RST fork until I've enough cash for a
better bike... Preferably something the right height to replace my old fork
and suitable for XC riding.

There are a few about. The Kinesis Maxlight, Kona Project 2 (triple butted
not the dirt jump versions) and the Pace RC31s.

I've just bought the P2s - they're on special offer at Wiggle if you're in
the UK.

Go to any LBS, they should have them laying around the back for cheap. Make
sure it's not threaded and right size diameter (1 1/8). If it is, and the
steerer is long enough, just cut off the threaded part.

I just gave a pair away after dusting off an old box full of parts. Syncros
made a rigid fork that was sligtly forgiving about 7 years ago, there might
be some around with another pair. Light weight but tough.

And whatever you get, make sure it is "suspension corrected" for the travel you
used to have. Otherwise you'll suffer from a change in geometry, and may not
like the bike itself anymore.. ;-)

I've got a bike with the p2's. They're nice.

Surly. Relatively light, strong and inexpensive at around $50.
