IDK what the terrain is like in Ohio, the Trek 27.5 MTB in the shop here have front suspension forks
want a rigid front fork? that's something to sort out at point of sale, in the shop.

rather than hope to have the factory change just your bike 1/2 way around the globe....


my 1 bike with discs got cable pulled hydraulic calipers, it came with mechanical ones..

its a kludge.. possible with speed dial avid levers..


Gravel and Cyclo cross are more road bike like, off pavement..
