They're few and far between. In theory you can get RockShox and Fox G2 forks and crowns, but I was buggered if I could find any aftermarket. The only difference is in the crown offset though (52mm in the G2), so I went for a set of Manitou Tower Pro's, which are 48mm offset anyway. That's on a Marlin frame and feels great.

Rockshox do a 51mm offset Pike and Fox 34 29ers are also 51mm offset.

Thanks for getting back to me. I have a Trek 29er so i am wanting to stay at about 100mm of travel.

anyone know of any 26er foirls with a large offset? My g2 forks are dead on my Gary Fisher Roscoe. I can get a new G2 CSU fitted for about £300 all in but it might be cheaper to get new forks

I wouldn't get hung up on it, I run a Trek Xcal with a standard Fox f29 and a mate runs a GF Xcal with a standard Reba 29er fork, both 100mm and they both ride fine..
Modern 29er forks have increased offset anyway so there's only a few mm difference nowadays.
