I'd looked at different fork options with a 32c tyres (26 trucker/straggler are disc only, 26 trucker probably too short for guards) and done some maffs...

I'm sure the straggler fork would handle just fine

The CC is far more suited to winter duties. I did like riding my CC as SS for a few months - but since it was built up for audax and touring originally - Guards, rack and stand - seemed overly heavy for a 7 mile commute. So I put 10sp group back on it - and decided not sell the Roller. Roller is great for just the summer months, been having a blast the last couple of months. Quite happy to leave it shed from November to February.

I recently got my hands on a steamroller, and while I'm enjoying it, I can't help but feel like my cross-check (currently relegated to parents garage) will do the fixed gear winter bike job better - bigger tyres and better brakes.
Agreed that a cross-check fork would be a good improvement for mounts and braking, but what effect would the longer a-c have?
