Posting in cyclocross thread since I think that’s closest to what I’m looking for.
I have a Black Mountain Cycles MCD and am looking to pare some weight. Although the welded crown forks are very cool, they’re pretty heavy too. Anyone know of a good source for a full carbon replacement fork? It’s a straight 1.125” fork with 50mm offset and 410 A-C. I don’t mind coming a bit short for the A-C measurement but I’d obviously like to stay within 10-15mm.
SP Cycles makes one that’s pretty close: US $108.00 20％ Off | Spcycle Full Carbon Gravel Fork 1-1/8 Straight Tube Disc Brake Forks 700C 650B Lightweight All Road Gravel Bike Fork

That one is a little short at 395mm. There are a few available through conventional channels, but $500 for a fork is a little rich for me! I’d pay that for the Ritchey if it weren’t too too short 386mm if memory serves).
Mostly wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or if that Spcycle is my best bet?

410 AC and 50 offset is a little unusual. If youre of with a more “normal” 400mm 45 offset fyxation imports these for $300, which do go on sale https://www.fyxation.com/collections/forks/products/carbon-fiber-adventure-fork. Frankly it seems a bit hard to find 1 1/8th straight steerers for road and cross these days.

I purchase this fork and put it on my old Merlin Extralight so I could have a disc on the front for wet spring descending. (Second listing if for non disc. )
Hasn't failed yet. (LOL)

Think I'm gonna take a flyer on the SPCycle fork ... All carbon instead of aluminum steerer and haven't seen anything about SPCycle that screams "your taking your life in your hands by looking at their stuff" :) Basically an 80-85% discount off Western Brands (take your pick!) at $105 with shipping.
