Apologies for asking what's probably been asked a few times before. I have a 10-year-old 26" Trek mtn bike that's set up and used as a road runner, and it has some lower end Rock Shox that may or not be long for this world, and I'm looking into going with a rigid fork (that's disc compatible).
My concern is that the new fork will significantly lower the front end, as I've read elsewhere. So I'm looking for advice and info on the pitfalls of doing this, as well as any recommendations on a source for decent,economical rigid forks. The Nashbar carbon 26" seems to be about the best option, but again, I'm concerned about lowering the front end too much. I took a brief look at 29" forks, but they were all much more expensive, and before wasting any more time searching the interwebz, I figured I'd better just ask The Matrix.
Any good info is much appreciated......
