First a little background...
I got a dynamo a few weeks ago, and spent a good 6-7 hours mounting it on the bicycle frame.
The fork was out of the question, since it's a thick suspension fork.
I ended up having to mount it the wrong way around, on the rear wheel, inside the rack frame...
It makes a lot of noise (wrong direction, don't ask me why, it does work though) and is mounted in an awkward position, requiring lots of cabling to the headlight and also blocking the best position for a U-lock (now impossible to get the lock through both the rear wheel and the frame).

In the longer run, I plan to use my MTB for long (by my standards...) bike tours. And here comes the next problem.
There are no fork eyelets to allow panniers over the front wheel, and the frame geometry doesn't allow huge rear panniers.
So, I basically need a rigid aluminium fork with a 1-1/8th in. tube and at least a couple of proper eyelets either side, near the fork "tips". It also has to be for 26" wheels, and allow wide tyres.
Does something like this exist?
If so, how much should I be prepared to have to pay for it?

Another thing...
What does "suspension corrected" really mean? Is it just a matter of fork length?
I imagine that a frame designed and stress-tested for use with a suspension fork would have less fatigue margin than a frame designed for a rigid fork.

Check out WebCyclery at www.webcyclery.com. They have a large selection of rigid mtb forks. Not sure if they have one that will meet your requirements, though.

Well, I'm in Sweden, so I won't be able to order from a US company.
But they didn't have a single model with eyelets, anyway...
