No front or rear suspension and ss................man you are tough, or dumĀ  :whistling:

Why not through in some square wheels too ?

I'm usually in the front up the climbs, including Northcliff Hill.

It's all I ride so I guess I've toughened up since I used a MTB with gears.

I'm looking for a 450mm ish A2C, 12mm through axle, disk brake, rigid fork with a straight steerer... Do these even exist in South Africa? and if so where can I get my hands on one?

Short answer is no but you can have one made.

Ā 

What wheel size is it for? That A2C is something you would find for a 26er but those usually only come in QR.

Bike is an old-school 26 litespeed, with super steep HA and an old battered 80mm Manitou Scarab. So looking for a 450mm rigid which would be similar to a 100mm travel 26 fork. Hopefully slacken everything up a bit. Also have an old 650B front which I might try, make it even more leisurely.

Seriously speak to Shaun at Storm Bikes, he made mine for a reasonable sum! Similar spec as it is for Ragley Td1...Ā

Will dig it out this evening and get measurements.

Rad... I want a super short hard hitter for the urban hack around bike. This might be perfect
