I fancy building up a brother cycles big bro for winter. But I would like some through axle rigid "adventure" style forks ie forks with bosses for mudguards, lowriders and bottle cages.
Does anyone know of some suitable forks?

I have these

Not sure about mudguards or low riders but you can get bottle cage mounts.
Great fork. Comfy and reassuringly chunky.
I've got a Surly Krampus with these:Â https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/frames-forks-c6/rigid-forks-c51/krampus-110-fork-p18763/s56653?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=surly-krampus-110-fork-fksukrlk&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&cid=GBP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnNvaBRCmARIsAOfZq-33IHFVRxsGQdHjL9TF2SlpySZCi-NqmUKGjTD9eB0mr-j8MQHx334aAoO-EALw_wcB
I've the Travers 29er Prongs. I used them on my Solaris on last year's HT550 along with quite a few other ITTs as well as doing tech trails so pretty tough. I had to repair mine recently - the metal sleeve in the bottom of the right leg that the maxle passes through had come loose, don't know why - I might not have tightened the maxle on occasion or it might have worked loose. I emailed Michael Travers and his response was that if the carbon wasn't cracked then I could epoxy it back in. My repair seems to have worked.
In the classic 'not answer your question' style I actually use a generic insert to convert my 15mm front wheel to QR on my Big Bro. Works with any 15x100 hub and costs about a tenner. Use a Shimano QR and it's rock solid.
Bike is really fun, light and great to ride, few pictures on my shops instagram:
We are also doing 10% off any Brother frame or bike for the rest of July 🙂 Can chuck you in a QR adapter as well if needed. Really pleased with mine.
