It rides really well rigid, but I did an experiment yesterday and a 15mm thru axle fox holds the knard/rabbit hole combo with room to spare. I figure "why not?" I'll give it a go! In my head, a 100mm travel fork on a 12psi 29x3.0 tire should ride like the cats pajamas. But we shall see!
Even in the case of wheel flex?
It may also make it feel like a sug up front.
