I'm currently in the process of building up my old DMR Transition as a rigid 24.
I'm really unfamiliar with rigid set ups tho and I'm lost as to what fork height will best suit what i want.
It was originally rigid with Trailblade 2 but I changed them pretty quickly and don't recall much about the ride. It used to run an 80mm circus, it was awesome with that fork. Still fairly steep and had a much higher bb than my current squishy bike (Spark). I'd like to keep these aspects as I really hate the low bb feel of the Spark. I don't know exactly what the head angle is but it's somewhere around the 72° mark ?
I've not really done much in the way of park/street riding so yeah. I'm only 5'2" but have long monkey arms and quite tall bars for the build. Been looking at the Rebate and BlkMrkt mainly. Is something like a suspension corrected fork better for a newb ? The frame is apparently 24" specific, does that change the desired fork height ?
