For the front of my genesis hardtail. Frame is suitable for 120mm forks. Thinking some carbon rigid forks as its used on family trail and road rides. Cheaper good options? disc specific

not carbon but these are pretty cheap and closer to the correct length for a 120mm sus fork

Almost pushed the button myself but found some brand new on-one carbon forks (the discontinued ones) in the classifieds

Be careful if you get tempted by something like [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/29er-rigid-MTB-fork-tapered-steerer-full-carbon-Mountain-fork-DISC-brake-/171309154189?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item27e2d23f8d ]THESE[/url]. I bought some & along with the customs charge (which was fair enough) of £25 they were also fairly poor quality, I managed a £40 partial refund in the end as he assured me they were safe but blemished/poorly finished.

Great grasp of English though 😉
