Are such spacers available? I have two bikes I'd like to switch to 1" rigid forks but they aren't worth investing in a new, pricier suspension-corrected fork. It seems like a variety of spacers would be a much more reasonable way to accommodate this market than a variety of rigid forks (of different C-A lengths).
edit: Plus, fenders will fit better using a non-corrected fork with a spacer.
