New rigid fork and brakes!

[BikerG]

Just got the components in to replace my entry level suspension fork and brakes. So, I just got done installing them on my bikepacking rig. The fork is a RDS suspension corrected aluminum and brake levers and calipers are Shimano XT M8100’s. I think I shaved about 3 pounds off the weight of the fork alone.

The bike came with rock bottom level Shimano MT 200’s…. And a boat anchor Suntour coil spring suspension fork…lol…

So, here‘s how I configured the components on the fork. Took the bike out on 2 overnighters and I like the setup, very solid.
