I have a 26er rock lobster (reynolds 853) with suspension forks - I am planning to put rigid forks on it, and I also feel like it could do with a bit more aggressive geo. is it a thing to put rigid forks that are not suspension corrected, or does that mess with the handling too much (given I haven't got massive rake on the 26er rigid forks I found from an old ridgeback).
if I should just go for 29er forks, I have two options, one would be carbon and the other steel (525) ... I am thinking of going with the carbon to keep it light, but perhaps the steel is a better match? any tips on switching to rigid with forks that were not specifically designed for suspension correction?
