I find my Singular fork *very* flexy. I can make the rotor rub when climbing out of the saddle. The price you pay for a compliant ride and a long fork I guess.
The fork alignment is also incredibly poor, with the wheel not centred between the legs (flipping the wheel has the same result, so it's not wheel dish).This is the difficulty of trying to design a fork which will ride nicely for folks weighing <60kg while still being strong enough for someone >120kg. Basically it's not possible. The new forks have less flex due to being shorter at 470mm, and we'll soon have a new 'clyde version' fork with thicker walled tubing.
I very rarely hear of any issues with alignment, though if you've got a problem please just drop me a line and I'll sort it out as best I can. It's possible that a fork leg has bent slightly if you are a bigger and more aggressive rider - especially so if you're using large rotors.
Mike, I'd be happy to sort you out with a fork if you are still in need. At your size I think the flex will be fine.

if they might be for a "certain frame" make sure the offset is about 47mm, 38mm offset feels like cack on it
They are for a "certain frame"...
Salsa Fargo: 50 or 55mm offset
Salsa CroMoto: 45mm offset
Singular Hummingbird fork is 55mm too, I think?Hard to find figures for others :/
