What do you need to know? Max allowed or head angle for given fork? Head angle is on our fork widget [url= http://www.cotic.co.uk/geek ]here on our Geek page[/url]. Max allowable on the Simple and Soul up to Summer 09 is 505mm or 130mm travel, whichever is the larger. 2010 Soul with the Ovalform top tube (most obvious difference) is 515mm or 140mm travel.

Cheers,

Rigid fork-wise, you can get away with pretty short and still get a good ride in my experience. I've got a 29er fork at 465mm on my hack bike Soul and it's probably a touch long as the steering feels worse than on my MTB Soul with 130mm forks on it. I'd go for some 440mm or 445mm rigids and a massive tyre if you're going rigid.
