Ok, on my hack bike I have some 2002 marzochhi mx forks which.... "work". But I don't trust them.

Looking at getting some rigid jump forks like the NS fundamental fork on CRC but how do I check they will be ok height wise? I don't mind them being longer, but def not shorter.

Taa,

    measure the old and see what the new axle to crown height is.

    Take some sag into account on the old ones.

    Using Onza smart guys on my commuter.....rigid alloy and light, look the part on an MTB build.
