Retro MTB fork suggestions?

Posted on
  • I have a late 90s hardtail. I love it, but the fork (a Manitou, same as this one) doesn't have much travel and no lock out.

    How do I measure travel?

    I'm thinking about replacing it with either a better suspension fork or maybe a rigid fork that's lighter.

    Compatibility might be a problem though, it's got:

    • 26" wheels
    • Straight 1 1/8th threadless steerer
    • V-brakes
    • Quick release

    I would be open to converting the front brake to disc though.

    Has anyone done a similar upgrade? What options are there for replacing it? How much does a good MTB fork cost?
