I'm a bit worried about the crown though, they look like they would be more suitable to a road frame with a hidden headset, any opinions out there?
thanks in advance
😀
They're mtb forks but for a tapered head tube with an integrated headset. What's your steerer on your current forks?

ye olde normal retro stylee so guess these are no good.......thought as much! 🙁 cheers for the reply dallas
I've got a set of similar ones, the Trigon ones. Very good forks. I did run them on a bike with a conventional headset and they were fine, just looked a little odd. Got them in a bike with an integrated one now and aestheically much better but no difference otherwise.
Pics of non-integrated ones here if you are interested: http://andrewhowett.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/my-bike-is-in-ruins.html

Have a look at these: http://www.carboncycles.cc/ I have some of their forks on my ti Global and I don't miss suspension, in fact I Ebayed my Rebas two weeks ago.
Epo, the forks you linked to are actually very good.
I have a pair and they flex much less than the tube legged,exotic,one one, pace forks.
I love my rigid bikes and have tried most of the major brands, these are deffo worth a try.

trailrat - look good and you say you can run 29er no worries, could be the clincher... whats the axle to crown measurement on your 26ers?
Anything i should watch out for re fitting to a 'normal' headset? i use the same hope traditional headset cup as you by the looks of it.
onandon - lovely looking machine although it looks like an intergrated headset/steerer tube, right? i think the hylix ones will have cleaner lines?
Thanks to everyone for all the input thus far.
They are 440mm

Ah, I missed he part regarding the headset. Mines integrated so thins out the fatness of the crown.
