one consideration I did have was wether it's worth speccing the bike for these sort of 29er forks
rather than standard cross forks, to reduce the chance of mud build up on the front wheel. But I think with the increased axle to crown size, I'd need a shorter heatube and they wouldn't be do practical for the days that I want to run 'guards and ride this on the road. Or does anyone know of a 29er carbon fork that takes mudguards and doesn't weigh a tonne?
I guess I don't really know enough to comment... so will anyways.
Don't modern CX forks already have a decent a-c ratio? Plus disc brakes removes the straddle wire giving you extra space. Or is it that 29er forks are also much wider at the crown?
