Found: Rigid Fork to suit DJ/Trials

[flying_w]

What: Rigid dirt jump/trials fork - to suit 26" wheel with quick release axle
Price range/Willing to Pay: Depends on item and condition
Location: Melbourne
Extra Info: I'm after something with with an axle to top of fork crown length of about 425 to 440mm, 1 1/8 steerer tube and steerer tube length of at least 175mm, 185 and longer would be preferred though and straight not curved fork legs. Also must be at least disc brake compatible - disc and v-brake is fine too.

Not sure about DJ but the forks in the below pic are great for trials and come in disc, V or 4 bolt mount for maguras or a combinaiton. Crmo steerer with alloys legs so pretty light. A lot of sydney trials riders use them. Think they are around $120

Hey, thanks for your reply. I'm after forks with straight fork legs - I have now updated the Extra Info to indicate this.

Do you know if similar are available with straight legs in the length I'm after?

I have a set of DMR trailblade 2's with a 20mm axle for $200. All you have to do is get a wheel that has a 20mm axle.

Don't think these are available in any other version/shape. Also very short (400mm) so not good on a frame meant for front suspension now that i think of it.

They are nice forks but I'm looking to spend a little less all up. I'll also be interchanging wheels between bikes so don't want to have to get 2 wheels with 20mm axle...another set of forks with QR 20mm for the other bike, etc.
