I was looking for rigid forks for my bike and couldn't decide which one to go for. Still unsure, but i gathered some info on some forks.
Mind you, myself with amount of cycling i do at the moment (very little) any of below will do a perfect job.

Option 2 - A to C 445mm Black - Disc only, weight: 1045g

Kona Project 2 29er
Axle to Crown = 460mm
Triple butted CrMo Steel
29er
disc brake compatible
Note: Some of new Kona Project 2 forks are NOT triple butted therefore a bit heavier.
from ebay:
For sale are a set of Kona Project 2, Rigid 29er, disc only Forks in black. I bought these in April this year and only been used on my commute bike with standard 26" wheels as I wanted to raise the front end a little. The steerer tube is uncut at 300mm in length and they are made from 4130 cromoly steel. The axle to crown I have measured at about 445mm. axle to crown is around 460mm
Feel free to add some info.

You have not said what you need ie crown to axle length, for a 29er or 26 (offset can be different) or brake mounts.0

my bike is orange p7 so 440-450mm should be perfect.
My post was mainly to sum up some info and pick what u want.
For example i dont want to have cantiliver studs as i only use disk brakes - its difficult to find Kona Project 2 with disk only mounts.0 -
