Ye Olde Original SS inbred - which is my much abused but loved winter bike - is due a revamp and I am thinking of sticking some rigids on it to make it as maintenance free as poss, so what size rigid forks do I need? I am thinking of some On-one forks but am not fussy really.

400 - 420mm Pace RC31's?

I've got a pair of v/disk SIDS you could drop the travel on for a suitably retro noodley experience?

Thumbs up here for the OnOne carbon forks. The Pace forks are supposed to be more flexi, considering how much the OnOne's flex I don't think the Pace's sound that great.

Surly do some nice rigid blades, not carbon but solid and a good price.

I guess it all depends on whether you want a slacker or more steep head angle. I've used [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p37810004.html ]390mm axle to crown BMX type forks[/url] and 410mm [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p39778336.html ]Kona jump forks[/url] and 440mm [url= http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p34327621.html ]DMR trailblades[/url] (liked the handling with the Konas best).

Exotic do some reasonably price carbons, in all sorts of lenghts - full carbon, carbon legs, alu etc, they are also the same forks as nukeproof, white bros
29er carbon rock for £89

I ran mine with a set of Orange F8s, they didnt seem as heavy as the On Ones they replaced.
