So much to unpack here.

1- the fork is on backwards...sorta. The stanchion bridge should be on the front of the fork. But the brake mount studs and dropouts are facing the correct way. Odd setup, cant figure whats going on there and am not interested to look at the picture more to figure it out since there is so much more hot mess to address. Does the fork look bent because it should be turned the other way with the stanchions rotated?

2- the fork travel looks longer than what that frame is designed for. It may just be the picture, but it seems you need a lower suspension travel fork. Your front end is jacked up a bunch and the frame geometry looks super slack. With how jacked up the front end is, the fork being bent actually offsets the slackness.

3- that is a 23" frame? Looks at least a couple inches smaller.

4- the stem extension setup is crazy to see, but if its what you need to get the bike to fit, then so be it. Adjusting the stem angle depending on if you are climbing or not seems like a curious process. Thats a lot of process effort just to climb a hill.

5- you are literally carrying another wheelset on your back?!? what?!?! That is insane and there is no way you are riding trails that require MTB tires with a wheelset on your back(the switched out set). This is like a bad Rube Goldberg cycling idea.

6- if you switch to a rigid fork, then get one that matches what your frame was designed for. Get the correct axle to crown length fork.
