Re: 500mm Axle to Crown fork I actually have one of these forks (or at least it looks the same). I bought it from elita one a few years back on sale. The quality of the fork was half decent. 

My issues where: the post mount for the brake was not compleated flat (needed to be faced), the through axle was super heavy, and the fork had somewhat limited tire clearance (2.3 if I remember).

The 480mm should be fine since the 26mm is supposed to correct for the sag of the fork.

Re: Generic carbon fork by various manufacturers / brands I have an SP cycles fork on my 29er, never abused it to speak of, it's still going strong.
Quality seems good, no complaints.

Re: Generic carbon fork by various manufacturers / brands That's good news :-)
Can't describe how it rides really, would just say give it a go, you'll always be wondering otherwise lol. I enjoy it, but grew up riding rigid.
My other bike is a full sus monster truck, so it provides a bit of yin Yan balance to life.

Re: Generic carbon fork by various manufacturers / brands I've bought a couple carbon forks in the past from Ali. All needed their disc brake mounts to be faced but I work in a bike-shop and have access to the tools to fix this. I thin koverall quality was low, particularly on my Trifox one but it was light. Another no-name one split randomly along the steerer whilst running less torque than seller recommended. However, once setup, they all worked fine in my opinion. I'd double check facing of the brake mounts and possibly expect to very gently sand down the base of the steerer tube as these are often not even or smooth as you' d expect.

Currently I have a Selcof 29er carbon fork but the A2C is too much but i adjusted using a different stem. I am currently enquiring about getting a Massi carbon fork. 480mm A2C is perfect for me, it is light and looks good but the price is quite different from AliX specials.
