[Closed] Options for a carbon rigid 29er fork

[#11402571]

Apart from the Exotic forks (which I know about, and indeed have some) are there any other carbon forks that are around 490mm crown-to-axle?

I'd consider Chinese, if people have one they've tried and think is okay.

It seems the market is either really cheap (Chinese) or really expensive (Niner, Whisky et al). Ideally I'd be sub £200.

[tapered, boost or non-boost, QR or thru-axle]

Wait about and i'm sure the selcof ones will be on sale.

Ive got the eXotic boost monocoque one and it rides very nicely.

I bought a generic set of Chinese carbon forks for my B+. Never had any issues.

I've got a set of Chinese ones (Tideace MF-004). 490mm A2C and available in both boost and non-boost 15mm. Think they cost me about £80 18 months ago, new from eBay. No issues to report and a friend has just bought a pair too.

Just had a check and I actually got it from AliExpress. Paid for the fast postage (so £90 all in) and it arrived in about 10 days. Think my friend got his from eBay.

I say this like a stuck record... but Aliexpress carbon forks from unknown supplier, I wouldn't with a barge pole.
