I am going to put a rigid fork on my 29er over the winter but wanted to go with ali or steel.
The exotic alu one looks good for the price.
Has anyone got one or any other suggestions?

I fear a carbon fork maybe a little lightweight for me!!
...or me a little heavy for it!!

I'm fat. Let's not beat around the bush with terms like [i]rotund[/i] etc. I've never broken a fork, & that includes a brief Endo on some Pace carbons before I read of the weight limit.

Exotic alloy are more comfy than you would think.

Carbon is fine as long as you avoid Pace.

Steel is best.
Singular Swift's are spot on.

If your near Lichfield I've some alloy Exotics you can try out, even some posh Niner steel ones if your quick.

Salsa's Cromoto is nice. They do a 15mm Maxle version if you're feeling flush.
