26 inch rigid fork

Question

Answer
Hi Rodney,

There should be any number of standard rigid forks available in that price range from your LBS. Soma, Ramiko, and Summit all three make forks that should fit what you need. Do you know whether you need 1" or 1 1/8th in? Of course those are either steel or aluminum. The carbon ones are way out of that price range.

If you look around town, at yard sales and such you may be able to find something that will work fine for very little. I pick up whole bikes sometimes for 2-5.00 and they often have decent parts that can be used. Probably have 6 or 8 rigid forks that you cold use in my back yard.

Hope this helps.

Have a great day

Jerry
