    I'm talking about the Kona P2/Surly Instigator type forks, not the Carbon ones. I can't seem to find any that don't have the brake bosses welded on, it spoils the nice clean lines see. They have to be compatible for frames that take a 100mm sus fork (I think that's 440mm/445mm dropout to crown).
    Anyone come across them?
    (or does anyone produce them with removable bosses aka the carbon ones)

    On One, aren't those shaped like the carbon ones?, I want Kona P2/Surly Instigator type/shaped ones.

    I just fitted a Salsa fork this week. Lovely thing.

    I did a 4-hour Peaks ride yesterday which included Blacka Woods and the Stanage Plantation descent. Not wildly harsher than the RC31's I had before, and weighed in at 950g.

    Sadly mine have got the studs for v-brakes because I wanted the shorter length (425) and they don't come in disc only.

    Exotic forks (found on ebay) – never bought them, but have been tempted.

    Kona P2's will do the job nicely.

    Oh, I thought the Kona P2s at 440mm/445mm length only came with vbrake bosses?. Is this not the case then?. The link by samuri doesn't state the fork length.

    I run some of the longer P2's on a maxlight.
    Initially i found it far twitchier in the handling department.

    I have a mint set of Orange F8 rigid forks off of my P7 if you are interested. 450mm long according to their blurb.

    They retail at £59.95 – yours for £30 posted if you want.
