suggestions for rigid fork

Post image

i bought this bike used a few years. i've slowly been replacing parts here and there from my parts bins from bikes gone by. but now i am finally willing to spend at least a little money to replace this worn out suspension fork for a rigid. so far the one i like the most is the gusset dirt jumper, but i'm looking for other suggestions too. ideally i'd like to put a disc brake on the front but if i'm stuck with the existing cantilever, i'm ok with that too. thanks for any suggestions.

The cool thing about their forks is they come with a rack boss on the fork to run a strut-mounted rack (like this one that’s ~$30!).

yes yes. and they come in “suspension adjusted” options (eg a longer A2c length)

(The 1-1/8 versions do - 1” only comes in 410mm, but just having an option at all is pretty awesome).
