This will be interesting. What I am already finding particularly interesting is that 26" FS above 120mm travel is outnumbering 100mm travel bikes. This would not have been the case 2 years ago.

 

The normal travel these days seems to be about 120mm.

I'm considering a rigid fork, even if just for weight savings.

Tell me how much you love it.....

 

Started out on a fully rigid bike, trust me having some front suspension is the option. But i suppose it depends on the type of terrain.....

I've been riding a carbon rigid fork for the last year, one of those no-name, carbon tube with aluminium dropout and crown jobbies. I ride predominantly at Rietvlei (blue and green routes) and Thaba Trails (green route) and its great. There's a little bit of brake chatter under heavy front wheel braking, but otherwise its great to have so little weight to lift in front.

 

WARNING!!!!! Subjective opinion below!

 

I feel that its made me a smoother rider. I pick my lines more carefully, but I don't seem to be riding any slower.
