Gusset Jury Disc or DMR trailblade? Will be used for urban, but I'm not insane or anything. Will see a moderate amount of abuse. I'll be putting it on a large P1.

Surly Instagator, really nicely made, disk tabs and guides and what not

hmmm... how much $$ for the instigator?

 

[rvlacich]

I've got one of those Instigator forks. Better quality than I expected for the price. Strength will not be an issue. In my opinion, rigid forks (that aren't intended for competition trials) should be chosen based on price and aesthetics. Performance-wise, they're all basically the same. Make sure you like the amount of suspension correction (4" on the Instigator, not sure about DMR or Gusset) so it doesn't throw off your geometry, and you should be all set.

The instigator will probably come in at around $100 from an LBS.

Edit: Or $64

PlanetX has a kniffen light, too, doesn't it?

www.webcyclery.com and www.unrealcycles.com both have nice rigid selections. Have at it...

kona project 2 jump fork

 

[mandown]

funn rigid. it has disc tabs and 20mm goodness

i really had nothing bad to say about the kona fork while i had it. It's also fairly light compared to the competition. the price is right too. if, you, like me, have front hub issues and it isn't too tall i would recommend the short version of the fun, which is still mega tall.

 

[animal 52]

no can do on the Funn. I won't be using a 20mm with this fork. Not too sure about the aesthetics of the surly fork. The DMR is tits looking, but heavy and pricey. What can someone tell me about the Gusset? or perhaps Gusset products in general? How's the quality?

woodman has a few including a 20mm acle

their cranks are top shelf for the category, if that means anything to you. You can't really make generalizations about companies, i mean they all have their duds, and some ingenious outfits can still put out stuff that's pants.

Strength will not be an issue

Hrm, all depends... I've pounded a few forks, bent 2 of them (granted, one was in to the side of a car), and know a few riders that have bent "hardcore" rigid forks. Strength is an issue, because the rigid will take a pounding if you're the type that either pushes yourself, or (like me) is an outright hack.
