We like to keep a couple extra forks around when we get them, incase someone has a mishap with a car or animal or curb, but we probably aren't going to need as many of these Canti Bolt forks as we have at the moment. This fork is low trail, with light weight blades, "canti" studs (yes, it will work with v-brakes), and all of the rack and fender mounts you could want. The brake posts are in the 650b position.
Build Notes:
This fork will work with your bike as long as it has a 1" headtube. It doesn't matter if the current headset in it is threaded or not, but you will have to use a threaded one with this fork.
This fork comes in 5 different Steerer Tube Lengths. You will have to measure, crunch a number or two, and order accordingly.
Ideally you want your steerer to be long enough to be able to get the top lock nut from your headset threaded most of the way onto the top of the fork and have the bottom lock nut snug up the headset and not run out of threads before doing so.
Each fork has about 55-60mm of threads at the top of the steerer tube.
