So any mk1 Solaris owners have (or have had) rigid forks?
If so, any recommendations. I've had a few issues with my suspension fork so thinking of some rigid forks to keep me riding and as a good winter option perhaps.
Thanks.

I've got the Travers Prong carbon forks. Took a little while to get used to, fitting B+ wheels/tyres helped but now I'm fine with standard 29er tyres.
Thanks chaps.
Should have said, ideally able to still use my thru axle(15mm).
I used a Salsa Cromoto with a 15mm axle - I used the same fork on my Sherpa too.
That said if I was buying new again I would probably look at the Travers fork or the Kinesis one as they are a fair chunk lighter.
I used a DT9mm through axle, ease to take off together with the adapters (Hope Pro 2).
Also, the default answer to "15mm carbon fork" used to be [url= http://www.ninerbikes.com/rdofork ]Niner RDO[/url].
The Travers uses a 15mm through axle so no problems there.
Edit: the Prongs were on sale when I got them so not *quite* so hard on the wallet 🙄
Can't see the Travers forks in stock.
But now lusting after a Travers frame. Oh dear....
I've seen Salsa do a cromoto grande but again no stock from my quick Google search.
On One are in stock and a great price. But it means buying from On One.
I've used the kinesis and some krampus forks, both were fine and did largely what you'd expect.
Found the kinesis held a line very nicely but appear to have a worrying amount of fore/aft flex if you look down at them when braking hard! Never actually bothered me in practice though.
On my inbred ive got a hylix or some such carbon jobbie with a qr, bought a 15mm to QR nukeproof axle from crc, seems to do the job and allows more choice of forks.
