Looking for a Disc Fork
Hey all,
Looking for a fork for a project bike. I need a disc brake touring fork, steel, with mid-blade eyelets, and 45mm rake.
The three I'm looking at:
Surly Disc Trucker fork
Salsa Vaya 45mm 700c fork
Tange Prestige Lugged Disc CX fork
If you have something laying around or you have a bead on one available online, let me know! Cheers!

google them up, there are several bike shops that stock their forks for resale and they might have one that would work for you. I can't remember right now from whom I purchased the Soma Tange fork for my tourer but I know I did not order it directly from SomaFab.

Max,
You don't say what AC (axle to crown) you seek. Don't you have a target or a preference for the steering geometry? I thought that if you are specific about the rake, you also should be specific about AC.
The CX fork you mention is listed at 389 mm, while the other 2 forks are oferred in two AC lengths. I have, and use, both of those in the 26" offering as they are on a touring and on an endurance road bikes with 650b wheels, resulting precisely in the steering I sought in each case.

Why not ask a frame builder to make one with all the features you want?
dial in your best tire clearance, blade length, rake, braze on locations color Etc.
