Long Travel Rigid Forks

Posts: 7
I didnt want to do one of those 'whats best for me' posts but unfortunately here we go, I am looking to replace some Bombers on a single speed hack bike with a set of rigid forks. they need to be light weight, have V-brake posts on and low cost so Pace carbon ones are out of my price range.
Doing a net search I found these:

but know little about them, any thoughts?
Now's the time to throw it.

Ientiti rebate are probably the strongest, but i think there are some funn rigids that are pretty long if you'r fork was more than 100mm

yes usefull info, sorry.
they are EXP comp '03
The measurements like the website 'carboncyles' do would make the bombers 45.5 cm from centre axle to top of crown but I wondered if the 44.5 cm aluminium ones would suit as 1cm is just slack travel, maybe?

not EXP but EXR sorry, they feel very heavy but have done me proud xc and now I want to lighten the bike for road and gentle fun use.

seems about right the right length0

If it's for road use then a slightly shorter fork and steeper head angle won't hurt.
