Front 1-1/8th straight (non-tapered) disc fork, centre-lock rotor, HY/RD/Juintech R1/similar caliper
My current Easton EC70 forks are 365mm ish and traditional / quite tight clearance with 25c (edit - not even sure I can get 25s in there on retrospect) tyres so I guess I would be willing to accept a bit of upwards tilt for a 28c. Not sure if this ends up making the handling more or less twitchy. The current fork rake is 43mm apparently also...it is a little bit of a nightmare once you start trying to take everything into account!

Hullo all!
Trying to throw a disc brake on my old Ti wife as the forks need replacing anyway. Got a new hydraulic disc commuter (Arkose, obvs) and can definitely see what the fuss is about - so much better in the wet it has completely changed by willingness to cycle in adverse conditions. So I am revamping the front end of my old Airborne Lancer bought off here several years ago. Headtube is non-tapered and will need at least 220mm steerer.Was looking at either the toseek/hylix/carbonda chinese carbon forks but figured I would see what people had on here first. Have sourced a Mason x Hunt 4 seasons disc wheel so flexible about whether through axle or q/r but ideally 12mm through axle I guess...
Also looking for a rotor and a caliper that is cable actuated.
Based in Leeds so will probably need posting - danke in advance!

You still alive on this fork? Seems to be one of the few relatively affordable through axle straight non tapered disc forks....

Did you get both together off the same listing for that price?? Keen to give it a go, but cant find them both for that price....
While we're at it anyone found a good non-tapered/straight 1-1/8th through axle disc fork - carbon or Ti?
My father in law was semi pro cyclist in the 1990s but had a stroke in his 50s and has as a result lost his balance. He has recovered everything else really well and even got back into running gently so hadn't been missing the bike too much. The arrival of grandkids, however, has made him want to get wheeled again as they are outpacing him on their balance bikes. Anyone got any suggestions for new or second hand options for something appropriate? He's about 5'5" - based in West Yorkshire.
