[url= http://surlybikes.com/parts/forks ]Surly forks[/url] - the sus-corrected Ogre might be the one for you. I've been running the Instigator 1.0 forks on various (26") bikes for over 10 years.

They look ideal, bit expensive unless I can find some secondhand.

I've ordered a 36T narrow wide (and some shorter bolts) incase I keep it 9 speed.

If it ends up SS I'll get the on one ring, it does look nice.

It's half way there. It's now 1x9 (tbh I might keep it that way) and has some Schwalbe Big Ben 2.35 tyres.

And because everyone likes a photo

And this one shows the funky reflective sides on the tyres

(Excuse the state of the lounge).

Still looking for a cheap fork.
