Hi all, recently acquired a kona cinder cone 2018 frame with wheels, was going to stick some carbon mtb forks on it and rum it for commute. I was wondering if these would fit into it? Forks and cinder cone spec below. Very much a beginner at this type of thing so any advice would be welcome.

You need to measure the axle to crown length of your current fork - so front wheel axle to the point where the fork disappears into the frame.

If you want the same geometry, then you need a fork with similar measurements.

Regarding the forks you link to on Amazon...I would be wary of the quality of a full carbon fork for £60.
If you want a proven, reliable rigid carbon fork take a look at the Carbon Cycles Exotic forks. They will do one that suits your bike but in all likelihood will cost around double what the Amazon ones cost.

Thanks for that, I will take a look, £60 does seem to good to be true!
