Can anyone recommend any light weight steel forks around 440mm (100mm suspension corrected)disc only.....I have looked at the NS bikes ones and these look good but are a little hefty as I like to mess around but am no dirt jumper?? To plug into a kinesis decade.
surly 1x1 from bike24.about a kilo.cheap too.
or the kinesis alloy one.about 800g.
(just going on published specs)
Hylix carbon from ebay, £100 ish and 500gm.
I've always liked the Genesis ones, from the IO. Not sure on the length though.
Genesis io forks are 450mm axle to crown
I'm suprised that no one's mentioned On-One, their Superlights are 440mm and a good fork (I've got a set on my old Inbred). If going a touch longer doesn't throw things out for you the F8 from Orange, 450mm a-c, is great and pretty light (I have these on my Pipedream Sirius).
Personally I thought the On-one steel fork was horrid - very very harsh. I've now got Salsa Cromoto's which are much more compliant.
Kona Project 2 (triple butted) should be good too if you can find them.
