Find me a rigid fork!
Discussion
PH I need some help!
I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive fork with the following spec;
700c
Disc brake suitable
Straight 1-1/8 steerer
9mm QR drop out
Can take a wide tyre, ~40c (Think CX spec)
I don't mind ebay carbontastic stuff. I've had some in the past and it hasn't failed me yet! Also don't mind an aluminium item.
I've been searching and I can only see either mega bucks items or tapered steerers. I think I maybe after the 335i M Sport touring Manual of the fork world!
Thanks

You can buy Genesis forks separately, though for 9mm QR and disk brake compatibility you'd have to be looking at something from a few years ago. Their current CGR fork has a thru axle, but is disk compatible, has internal cable routing a 1 1/8" steerer and is meant as a replacement for the steel fork on their CdF cyclocross bike (I think most new disk forks will probably have a thru-axle too as it's considered a bit safer).
