Looking for a rigid 26 inch carbon v brake fork
I am looking to replace my suspension fork with a carbon rigid fork. I need a v brake compatible one. Does any one have any recommendations. The only ones that I have found is one from exotic and one from trigon. I'm not sure trigon is around any more.

I was looking for the same thing, and found the same results. I almost pulled the trigger on the Exotic, but then got distracted by another project, and haven't done anything about the fork.

And the exotic weighs more than some aluminum ones, like the MOSSO. I might just end up getting the aluminum MOSSO M5. It looks like they weigh around 800 grams. I've seen a lot of carbon rigids that weigh around 500, but none with v brake mounts.

I think the only one actually making a legit fork of quality would be Wound Up. 26" carbon forks were never common

Carver makes a carbon or steel 26" fork - with rim brake options.
Steel option 1.125
Steel 1"
Carbon option
Steel fork on my 26er:
I have a carbon Carver on a 29er SS - also a great fork
