Wiggle | Columbus Tusk Carbon Fork | Forks
Columbus also do trekking versions of the fork (with V brake fit points) if you want to keep the 26" wheels...
I was thinking about changing the front fork, but was hesitant due to loosing the folding fastening mechanism on the front. (Stock magnets are weak so its not a deal breaker, but I've since added rare earth magnets that are about 5x stronger).
I understand you have part train commute? How do you handle securing the bike during transit?
