In response to this post@ascentale @ai6yr You’re looking for a “suspension corrected” rigid fork. If you replace a suspension fork with a “normal” rigid fork, it’ll lower the front end of the bike, leading to a higher head tube angle and wonky handling (trail/caster is reduced, bike will feel “twitchier”).
The important number is the “axle-to-crown” measurement of the fork you’re replacing. Finding an approximate match shouldn’t be too hard! A decent shop should be able to help out. It’s not an uncommon swap!

@ai6yr Awesome, thank you. On more investigation, I think my friends' address (just SE of KSMO airport) is not actually in a named evacuation zone (which seems to be the case for most of urban LA). That's a surprise for me, as someone who mostly stares at rural Nor-Cal maps.

Does anyone know how to find the evacuation zone for an arbitrary LA County address? Some friends live near the current Palisades fire warning perimeter, but don't know their zone ID (and, alarmingly, it's proving hard for me to find for them). cc @ai6yr
@joshua You can look at Watch Duty and run a search for an address...Up on the right side when no fires are selected.
