rigid disc fork for rockhopper
 
I just bought an old cro-mo rockhopper frame for my xtracycle. It has the stock rigid fork set up for cantilevers. I'm planning on using discs (I already have them-avid bb7s). Is there a rigid fork I can buy that is not suspension corrected? threaded or threadless I don't really care too much about that. Thanks

Check Surly's website. Their forks are all steel and I thought that all their forks are suspension corrected, but hopefully I'm wrong.

You could email their tech guys with the question. I have a couple of Surly's and they were very helpful when I had questions when building my bikes

There's a number of options on Ebay at any given time as well.

And another online store with a good selection of rigid options is www.webcyclery.com .

You can check out the QBP catalog through many bike shops. I use aebike.com. Look at the dimension lineup of forks and see if there is anything you like.

You have to care about that, since your frame and headset are made to accomodate forks with 1" threaded steerer tubes. There are almost no disc compatable forks in this configuration. I believe I have seen them before, but a google search just revealed nothing. On the other hand, there are dozens of forks made with 1 1/8" steerer tubes, which won't work in your frame.
