Btw I thought that the idea behind tapered & raked forks was to give some amount of shock absorption. A properly designed disk fork might not have much compliance left and will gain some weight? (along with the disk hardware). Even if it's simply a long Willits mount. Something to weight against the good performance of (hydraulic?) disk brakes.
Good point about the compliance, interesting. I have a hardtail mtb with hydraulic brakes, I'd like to have a suspension adjusted rigid fork I can switch by not dicking around with the brakes other than just remounting them to the fork of choice.
