Doing the CT this year, trying for 10-12 days total. Riding a hardtail Ti but wondering if I can do my ENVE carbon front fork or just a suspension fork? I've got 2.8 tires on NOBL TRT37's, so maybe I can get away with it. I've seen both done. Would love to hear your thoughts. (this is my bike, but I have it built differently now-mostly just an attention grabber to get engagement on this post)

I’ve done it on a rigid 27+ and a 29 hardtail and I would never consider doing it again without a suspension fork. Your shoulders, wrists, and prostate will thank you…
I wouldn’t make that trip to find out what I couldn’t get away with.
Only one or two people were riding rigid forks on the Rigs of the Colorado Trail Race.
100% absolutely yes. The single track is heavy duty. You will have much more fun with suspension, but a lockout is nice for the wilderness detours.
