good call on junking the 19"!
I reckon your bike had a pseudo-brace for road use more than off-road use where the combination of wobbly rider, terrain and tyre mean the stiffer fork makes little difference. if you're sticking to tar with lots of weight, a brace is worth it, but I'd put my effort into prepping the bike for bombing around in the dirt!! eg suspension tuning etc.
