Question for the knowledgeable - My Giant Roam has a 63mm front fork (this one) that I would categorize as almost useless. It's technically functional, but any time I'm in a situation where I don't have it locked out, it seems to either overheat or, I'm not sure - it just rattles around a lot and seems to lose its damping capability. It's also quite heavy. I want to simplify this bike and align it more with gravel riding rather than a sort of low end hardtail that it feels like it is now. I like the geometry of the bike and I like the brakes, my big issue is that it's too heavy. All that being said, I thought I might kill two birds with one stone if I eliminated the suspension on the front fork. How do I go about finding a lightweight fixed front fork that would fit my bike? The alternative would be getting a Cannondale lefty fork - but those are so damn expensive I might as well get a whole new bike.
