Gonna stick some rigid forks on my "fannying about" bike - an 04 Kona Blast.

Whats the difference between

&

[url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/kona/p2-mtb-fork-ec001685 ]P2[/url]

The first ones you linked to are triple butted so lighter I think. I've only used the "normal" P2's and they seemed fine - my wife has them on her bike.

I've got Pace RC31's - currently on my commuter - and they're very good.

I have the On-One carbons and they're fine. Highly recommended.

The Charge Nozzle forks are jump forks.

One of the P2s is the triple butted version which will be lighter (and maybe offer a more compliant ride than the plain gauge one).

Check out the On-one steel or carbon forks.

There is also ebay for the exxotic ones.

I've got a set of [url= http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/components/ ]Orange F8's[/url] and I've been pretty impressed with them. Not bad for £60.
