I need some help. I want to convert my 1997 front suspension Trek 970 to a rigid fork. I use it as a commuter and occasional tourer. Obviously I want to do this on the cheap, as despite it being much loved, it is not exactly worth spending a huge amount on.
It is the same as this:
Now the big question, what would be the effect of not having a suspension correct fork? Is it really that important? I assume the front end will just be a inch lower, or is there more to consider?
I was looking at getting one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391580837203
