While I wait impatiently for the new canti bits and chain, @vp1337 would it be crazy to consider swapping out this fork for a rigid one? The terrain around here is pretty much paving and gravel (the reason why I bought this bike in the first place is the abuse my Scapin was receiving every time I went out on it anywhere other than the main road). I've never ridden a bike with a suspension fork and it seems a little OTT for 20-30km of gravel paths and country lanes.
