Suspension corrected fork

I want to replace the suspension fork on my bike with a steel rigid one. The bike is a 2014 Trek Verve 3 with a SR Suntour NEX, 50mm-travel fork, 1-1/8" thread-less headset. Any suggestions?

First thing you have to do is get out the yardstick. Measure from the axle, to the top of the fork, right below the frame. That is the size you are looking for, or maybe 10-15mm less.

This would be for a 650b, or 26" wheel. Next, you have to know the length of the steerer tube. Once you have those numbers, Phone Jensen or Niagara, and ask what is available. That phone all will save you a lot of internet serching.
