where to buy a new 1 1/8 straight rigid 26" alu/steel MTB fork locally under 1k ?

[ThePubSA]

As heading says looking to buy a 1 1/8 26" rigid fork for my mtb, i like the carbon ones rapide sells @ 1.7k but they all 29er and really just need a lightish ,cheapish alu/steel fork to setup a rigid hardtail..

Cant seem to find any,.. also long steerer would be nice as oldish frame..

 

Ty for any ideas

Have you checked Rapide's website, i recall seeing some 26 inch forks, but i am not sure of stock.

 

Try Huntercycling for Surly forks. i know thye had no stock of 29 inch, they may have some 26inch in stock?

Ye i dont see any on the website.. might try hunter ,thinking the surly will be pricey.

 

Might have to wait on the luck of the classifieds .

A mate of mine bought a rigid steel fork from Cajee's in Fourways - sounded as if it was stripped off one of the bikes they sold but he picked it for literally next to nothing and used it for a rigid SS build. Might be worthwhile phoning them

Please let us know if or when you find a suitable fork. I'm also looking for straight steerer rigid fork with axle to crown of 450-460mm. Rapide 27,5 fork might be an option for me when stock arrives.

Will do .. that 27.5 rapide might be the option .

So I’m bringing this thread back to life. Seems like there was no answer to this in 2014 but I guess I will try my luck anyway.

 

I am looking for a 26” rigid fork with a straight steerer for a single speed build from all my old parts. Would be nice to have disk brake mounts but I’m happy with rim brake mounts or even no brake mounts at all.

 

Anyone have an idea on where I would be able to find something?

Cantact this seller. He brings in carbon wheels, frames, bars and forks. He might be able to bring one in for you. He definitely has/had straight steerer 29” qr forks not to long ago. Maybe his (Chinese) supplier Has a 26” version too.

 

Edit Worst case id compare A-C numbers of some gravel bike forks? Should Be around 400mm so not too far off.
