I ride a Vodoo Bokor single speed mountain bike - 26" wheels - I want to switch my shock fork for a rigid - the bike is set up for a 100mm travel fork

can anyone advise as to the "head/drop" measurement of a rigid fork that will maintain the frame geometry??
trouble

The best thing to do would be to use a suspension corrected 100mm rigid fork. White Bros makes a bitchin carbon one and the Surly Instigator fork is cool. You can also check out the Echo Urban fork or PX Kniffen Light, both are pretty rad.
