I want to change the fork on my 2004/5 Stumpjumper HT for a rigid fork as this is now my commuting bike and I want to really lighten it up. It currently has a Marzocchi Bomber on it (only fork I could afford when original fork broke!) I cannot afford more than £100 if this is possible.
Any recomendations would be greatfully received. Thanks.
Some project2s and a big chunk of change
A wtd ad for some On-One carbons or Exotic carbons will net you some for £70-£80. Will shave at least 2lb off it.
The eXotics are excellent and you won't miss your suspension fork, I sold my Rebas on Ebay.
My default answer... Salsa Cromotos. Do em in a shorter (than mine) length so shouldn't muck up the geometry on your Stumpy too much either.
+1 for the cromotos. Got them on my Genesis IO singlespeed. Lovely forks.
I had the carbon exotic 29er fork on my Chameleon for winter commuting duties and they are great. They're going on sale shortly due to a change of bike if you're interested - £40.
+1 for salsa cromoto
nice shape. nice drop-outs. and not too heavy for steel.
As I said in the last [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/rigid-fork-help ]'Rigid' thread[/url] yesterday:
Pipedream are doing their [url= http://www.pipedreamcycles.com/infinity-rigids/ ]'Infinity' fork[/url] for £51 posted
