Im looking at getting a rigid carbon fork , thus far Ive read reviews and narrowed it down to
Kinesis maxlight ix

--looks a great fork for the price, maybe a 'little' tall
Ritchey

--gorgeous lightweight fork
Niner RDO /carbon fork tapered [url= http://www.ninerbikes.com/rdofork ]rdo[/url]
--looks like the perfect fork, cant decide if I should make the jump to the 15mm thru-axle as I like the idea since I want to build a really solid front end. It might be sacrilege but is using one of these on the pivot les im getting wrong ? (just kidding !the nude carbon option looks lovely ).
Anymore suggestions ? Im really interested in anyone's real world experiences in the forum of having any of these forks (and also you wheel set up). Reading around on the net and peoples experiences is quite interesting how people like the different setups and how they interpret the feel.
Im quite a light rider being 62kg and have always liked rigid forks so am looking at pairing them up with a pair of Enve or Reynolds 29ner rims for XC racing.
few suggestions on here;

although primarily at a lower price than yours.
If the Ritchey is as good as their WCS road fork, you can buy with absolute confidence; mine is fantastic. I haven't upgraded the mtb to rigid yet, but that would be my first choice based on my experience.
