At 255 lbs My STEEL frame MTB with the CARBON front fork works very well for me. Very positive handling and not too jarring a ride at all.

Do they make a rigid carbon fork, that is a drop in replacement for a suspension fork? If so, made by whom, and what model(s). I would like to dump the 80mm suspension fork on my bike, and since, these days, I am so close to the Clyde limit, ( 97kg at last check), I would consider CF, providing it's inexpensive enough (side benefit, I could get the bars up a little).
