I am on the lookout for a 140/130mm travel fork in 27.5 flavour, the only snag is it has to have a straight steerer.
What are my options?? Cheap but good would be nice too 🙂
Any 26 inch fox fork will work, otherwise you will be looking at White Brothers forks.
X fusion velvet or vengeance come in straight steerer and 650B compatible, though the newer vengeances are 170mm I think

I have a couple of 26'' forks that will squeeze in 27.5 with a smll tyre but then there is zero chance of getting any mud guard in there.
The Velvets look good but I am confused as to how an internal adjustment makes them 27.5, it is the clearance around the arch that is the main issue.
I will go and play with the 26'' forks I have but I am pretty convinced the gap was only about 3mm.
Thanks for the help.
