I was in a similar position a few weeks ago trying to find 26" 1 1/8 rigid forks and it was a bit of a mission. Do you need threaded or threadless? And what axle-to-crown length? I tried everywhere but got lucky on eBay in the end, but there are not many of these forks still rattling around.

Ah - that's not good to hear! I guess it's the ability to accommodate a MTB tyre that causes the dearth. I haven't gone down the eBay rabbit-hole yet (hoping something pops up on here...). I'm looking for threadless, but I'm not sure about the axle to cross length (whatever is standard, I guess).

I too was in a similar position and eventually bit the bullet and bought the Surly Troll fork in the end

Appreciate they may be way outside your price range but imho they are a very nice piece of kit if you can stretch the budget

+1 on the Surly Trolls - they are the most versatile forks out there and look good to boot with massive clearances and all the braze - ons you could wish for

Wanted: 26" Rigid Forks with rack eyelets, hoop bars, Deda Stem
Posted by
@JoeGreenwood
I’m based in Stroud so likely you’ll need to be willing to post…
Wish list:
1 1/8” rigid forks for a 26” wheel with mid-height rack eyelets and enough clearance for 2.3” mountain-bike tires. Preferable with v-brake mounts, but perhaps I’d be interested in forks with a disc mount – but then you’d also need to sell me a front 26” disc wheel, and front disc brake, and brake lever, and so on…
Hoop bars – Jones bars, alpkits version – something along those lines? Or even something vaguely swept back and with some rise, without the hoop. Looking to test the water with this bar type and I'm way too cheap to order a new Jones bar.
Deda zero stem 100mm
26" Mudguards
Thanks for reading – Joe.
