I have a set of niners which run a chronicle in them with room to spare

Whisky forks look nice. There is also a enve form as well. Both ££££ though.

I was assuming given mention of Manitou Magnum, that we were talking suspension forks .... if we're talking rigid, them most 29er forks have enough clearance.

suspension forks.

MRP Stage
Manitou Magnum - Need boost 110 front hub
2016 Fox 27.5+ also fit 29 plus - Need 110 hub
2013 Fox F29 - 29+ fits, but recommend summer use only personally

There are spacer kits to adjust 100mm front hubs to boost 110mm

I use rigid for 29+ but occasionally suspension, when I do, I fit a panaracer Fat B nimble tyre as its only 2.75" measured.

Rigid, what they said. I have a whiskey No 9

Having used the 2013 Fox forks with a 29+ setup may I concur that you don't want much mud going on at the same time. Space is....precious with some tyres.

Yup, hence the preference for the smaller panaracers.

Those panaracers are crap though. Mine lasted 2 weeks before a 2 inch slash in the flimsy sidewall.

you certainly cant run them as low a chronicle or knard pressure wise.

I've not wrecked mine yet, though they are on the floor in the shed

Second the Travers bike fork, can also get it with anything cage mounts.

There is also the Lauf Trail Racer Boost fork if your not sure if you want suspension or rigid
