(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best bike forks

The axle sizing and straight headtube kinda limit your options. Amazon has a few good options like this: https://www.amazon.com/RockShox-RECON-Suspension-Fork-100mm/dp/B07BF3SVTS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=rockshox+recon&qid=1565493358&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Or this: https://www.amazon.com/SR-Suntour-Suspension-Straight-Standard/dp/B07PJGXXVH/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=suntour+epixon&qid=1565493419&s=gateway&sr=8-8

I would check out the Rock Shox XC 28 or XC 30 both are pretty cheap and will be way better than the suntour you have now. I wouldn't spend any more money on the suntour if it's already breaking apart.

Edit: Just realized you might not have meant suspension forks. Anyway, hope it helps regardless.

Just put a rockshox recon rl silver on my rigid Karate Monkey. Has steel uppers so not going to win any weight awards at 2089g but responds nicely. https://www.amazon.com/RockShox-Recon-Silver-Fork-Adjustment/dp/B06XTLG4M3

Yeah a 100mm Reba would do you well. I wasn't able to find a reba on amazon in your size, but I did find a recon https://www.amazon.com/RockShox-Recon-Silver-Fork-Adjustment/dp/B01FERNZ78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487898793&sr=8-1&keywords=rockshox+reba+27.5+straight

you'll want to include your wheel size (27.5 I believe?) and "straight" in your searches.

I'm now thinking about getting these for my XC bike : https://www.amazon.com/RockShox-30-Silver-Fork-Adjustment/dp/B06XCVQ648


Then when I get my full suspension I'll have some more monies to play with.

This is what I bought, but it seems that Amazon doesn't have any right now. Although, the Google seems to be indicating that there are more to be had.

Either one. Although with shipping I'm not sure it's going to work out to be much cheaper.

You'll also want to be sure that the steerer tube length is long enough and that there's enough threading on each.

This is it. My review is the four star review. My only beef with it is that the full lockout feels almost more than full rigid. It's great when you're riding on smooth pavement but when you hit any kind of bump you feel it even harder.

I found this for under 300 for my build. It’s qr but there’s nothing wrong with that.

This is probably what you would need: ICAN 29er Mountain Bike Carbon Fork Tapered Tube with 9x100mm Quick Release https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018XG3NVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P6DEzbP67AN35

Wheel size? 1 inch Carbon Fiber Threadless Fork Aluminum Alloy Steer Tube Uncut https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NHX5YDU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.XwQBb0P74Q09

this should do it for you:

you'll need this to thread the handlebar stem onto the fork tube

https://www.amazon.com/FSA-Hammer-Headset-34mm-Headtube/dp/B003J7XCRO/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003J7XCRO&pd_rd_r=1H9XRKVB74WPERW31VHC&pd_rd_w=iNjqW&pd_rd_wg=m2Lw5&psc=1&refRID=1H9XRKVB74WPERW31VHC

It doesn't even have to be expensive! Full chrome steel fork, 700c, 1-1/8 $43.99.

Does it have to be threaded? [Origin8 has a 1 in threadless model.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BWLI4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_U7ONAbHE2Q6K2)

Yeah but its hard to find one that's not all painted/stickered. I've still got a few months to keep an eye out on craigslist. If not I was thinking one of these... https://www.amazon.com/Nashbar-Carbon-Road-Bike-Fork/dp/B004UMESDY/ref=pd_lpo_468_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=HBSTB260PMJ85MZ4SFE5

If you're looking low end, I'd suggest this over the Suntour. It at least as lockout.
