Rank these forks please

Help me pick between these inexpensive forks...

Surly 1 X 1
Dimension Disc specific
Planet X
Goods or bads?
My requirements are: I need to run a 2.4 (or more) up front, and has to be disc specific.
with steerer tube of at least 8 inches...
Also, my frame is set up for 80mm and I'm not sure the Dimension is 80 or 100mm corrected.

Any other suggestions would be welcome! I have to get this rigid fork thing out of my head once and for all and I wanted to try it out with a cheaper fork to see what it's all about.

Thanks

I've had 1 and 3, and you won't have problems fitting a fat tire in there. Riderx has/had 1 and 2, and he runs/ran 2.4 Motoraptors.

I'm not sure what the a-c measurement is off the top of my head, but it is inexpensive, available as a disc specific fork and I have a 2.6 tire in mine with room to spare.

The Kona Project 2 disc fork is your answer. It's rather inexpensive, light as a feather, corrected to about 80mm, and will swallow a big fat honkin' tire with no problems.

Is it Steel?
How much is "inexpensive"?

What's the problem? The fork does come with disc mounts. There is a v-brake version and a disc version.

I need DISC mounts!

Where did you see the 100mm corrected Dimension? Even the 410mm IMO is shorter than most 80mm forks after sag. Mine is around 1100g, rock hard and probably bombproof.

Light as a feather? I think not. Kona claims 760gm or so, but having weighed one (uncut, v-brake) I can say it's alot closer to 1000gm. I guess it's all relative.

Was that on the triple butted or the standard version?

Surly. It fits your needs, 80mm corrected and bomb proof.

Surly 1x1 replacing an 80mm fork. With a fat tire, the geometry is unchanged. Ran a maxxis mobster 2.7 - really 2.5 - no problem. Currently have a continental Deisal 2.5 - really 2.4. Well made, easy to install, no worries. Surly answered all my emails quickly before I bought.
