I wouldn't want to use the crosscheck fork b/c of the cantilever bosses. I have caliper brakes and hope not to have to change out my front brake as well....yes I know cantilever is stronger but the issue is with cost and not having to unnecessarily change parts.

What is QBP? From my limited understanding, it is a distributor? Wouldn't I have to be a licensed dealer to go through them? In any case my next step was going to be call around all my local bike shops and have them order me something, maybe they can locate the fork SJS has from a local distributor.
