Just bought an Orange P7 frame and was thinking about a rigid fork for it.
So it's arrived today and meanwhile I have been trying to decide which length of fork would be best,a 440 or a 470?

Thanks

440mm is about the same AtoC as 100mm forks, think 470mm would be better as the bikes looks to be designed around a 140mm fork.

But don't quote me on that.

I got on really well with my Exotics- well priced, never any sign of weakness. Not the stiffest but that was fine. That was for a Soul, and I fitted a set of longer 29er forks in order to replicate the a2c of a longer travel fork- worked well.

Replaced them with a set of scary-light Hylixes which I still don't trust, need to get a bunch more rides in before I do.
