Built myself a rockhopper singlespeed and want to go rigid any reccomendations of a good fork that won't get me killed by the wife?

Also, Does the length matter?

Any help will be great.

You can get a pretty good fork from Dimension. There other options perhaps a few dollars cheaper but the Dimension forks are good. Price range from $50 to $80 roughly.

You would need to know.....
threaded or non threaded headset or threaded vs non threaded steerer tube
1" or 1 1/8" steerer tube diameter.

If the Rockhopper is a failry newer model then it should be a threadless 1 1/8 steerer.

If you have any questions feel free to give me a call.

Click o the "photos," link on top of this page.

At the top of the photo page look for the link "Upload a file."

And then follow the directions for file size and whatnot.

See...
