who makes rigid forks with a 20mm through I know of funn and dmr but I see other forks that i don't recognize. How much are they, weight, and where to get them? Anybody have a used one?
20mm rigid fork

Identiti is your best bet.
yep the rebate is the only rigid fork worth getting as of now
Identiti Rebate 1420. I've got one and I'm lovin' it. Best mass production rigid fork you can get these days IMO.
Where did you get yours at?
Chain reaction. I love mine too, nothing better.
I got mine through BTI around a year ago or so.
I shaved the disc tabs from it, cut out the reliefs in the dropouts, and now run a flush alu. 20mm thru-axle. Was running alu. nuts with the chromo 14mm axle, which is perfect for pegs, but since I wasn't grinding with this fork the chromo axle was a little overkill and overweight.
how much does it cost and weigh
dobermann has one coming out soon, but it is pricey
anyone have an used trailblade or something i don't need anything special i just want to make my old gack frame a rigid with 26s now that the gold label and 24s are on my molly
yes...our forks will be ready pretty soone, The steerer tubes should be back from the CNC in 2 weeks...and then we will start welding them up.
The dealer cost is the same as the DMR forks...so the retail in the shop's should be similar.
Cheers!

Any idea on the A2C length on these??
Give me a few weeks and there'll be something pretty cool to show off!!
identiti rebate like others have said..i love mine. only one worth looking at at this point.
I think Greg Melms did the axle nuts if I'm not mistaken.. Drop him a PM, he's such a nice dude. He was very willing to help me out when I PM'd him.
Those axle nuts are just simply some new old stock Knight ti. crank bolts (although I could also use the stock 17mm bolts from the Marmoset). The axle was custom turned by GMD, and uses the same safety spacers that came with the fork originally too, so they fit flush.
It's just a 110 X 20mm hollow alu. axle that is female threaded and the diameter on the ends is dropped down to 14mm for the dropouts on the 1420.
You could really just bypass this without custom work by getting yourself an Identiti Rebate Park or Jump, for the 3/8" dropouts, then run a regular BMX hub, like a marmoset or pilot or something... But I did mine this way incase I ever have a day where I decide I want to run a susp. fork up front, so the 20mm thru is still useful and versatile.
way old post below, but you get the idea. custom is always an option....
