What is there? Currently running 'suspension corrected' 440mm rigid forks, but they're still too low, so the bike is too steep. Would like some 460 minimum length forks, possibly 470. What is there?

Thanks.

DT Swiss XRR470, the name gives away the length!!

Fantastic forks and the lightest you'll find.

I use those Exotics, they're very nice... And cheap! Enormous tyre clearance if you want to use it with a big tyre for some bounce.

I think Hylix have something that'd suit too, though they seem a lot tighter for clearance.

Anything for 29" would fit the bill

Yeah seen the Hylix ones, they look nice. Some of the 29er ones I saw were 485, which I reckon is too big, but I've got a few on eBay I'm watching.
