Any recommendations for an appropriate rigid fork and wheelset?
I've spotted the on-one monocoque fork here http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FOOOSCF4709/on-one-monocoque-straight-steerer-carbon-fork#reviewstab
5mm longer than what's suggested, but i guess it's close enough.

Anything better than Arch EX on superstar switch ultras for the money at the mo?

Td-1 likes a 440mm

I'm running kona project 2 triple butted on mine after trashing 2 carbon forks.

Don't be fooled it's a damned fast bike that is sure footed as hell. I've got my self into bother a couple of times because it just urges going faster !

Lucky bugger. I borrowed one from Hotlines/Brant a couple of times and loved it.

Listen to trail_rat. He's an expert on going fast on TD-1s. It's a really really good frame with the correct length rigid fork.

Yes. Just doesn't have full range of adjustment.

Wheel is 2.8" WTB TrailBlazer on 52mm Hugo rim (borrowed from martixyz for a trial fit). If I was going to go that route, I'd use a narrower rim to cut down the overall width slightly.
