Decent 26" rigid forks?

[Imlach]

One option maybe to approach to a seller of forks similar to what you need on aliexpress etc. Chinese suppliers are often very accommodating to custom requests.

Some nice steel forks on Big Ali for sure

nar, you said it need to be less than 410mm. :O

yer right, more like 41mm, but the occasional white lie is ok yer?

 

[novocaine]

alas the A to C is right on the money (400mm) but the steerer its cut to 210. no go, sorry.

shame really as it fitted a 2 .4 with ease.

@Tootyred Super wild... but... Mr Clarkson made his own and he's actually selling a set on eBay:

You could always adjust the legs to your own height...

what about a set of RC30's and a new steerer? Pace still sell them or Danson67 could make you one.

Think you will struggle with older P2 or Spinner. Some time ago I found some on a XL Kona - the uncut steerer was about 230mm.

Not sure if the after market ones were longer though.

I have toyed with the idea of using a bbb tube extender, but the things weigh in at 280 odd grams to start with and then you need to add the a head stem.

Like this....

That way i can leave the threaded headset on and work from there.

The other issue with this approach is wether it will work with a syncros cattle head stem? From the look of it, you need to essentially crush the loose alluminium spacers onto the keyed steer extender to get a grip for the stem....

Im not sure a single bolt syncros system will grip.....could swap stems too, but the weight gain and additional joints is not too appealing.....

the second option is yo get a pair of rockstars out of a Pine mountain and get them cut and extended.....but as they are all unicrown, i'm not sure if that's a go'er.

Maybe thats a question for either Vas of @danson67 ......

Do those extenders not have a separate bolt for the quill than the ahead? The one I used did.
