Can be straight or tapered
As in adapter to run a straight fork in a tapered steerer? and what taper?
-
(without slackening the front end too much)
Changing from a tapered fork in an EC44/40 lower to straight fork in a ZS44/30 lower gains you about 10mm axle to crown with no change in steering geometry
Or is 32c unrealistic with the fork length?
It's unrealistic with a 365mm fork, and it's also unrealistic with a caliper brake drop of <49mm. To fit a 700×32C with the minimum safe clearance needs over 350mm from axle to the underside of the crown. With a 375mm fork and a brake drop <57mm, it's possible.

Talking of R/F forks anyone know of a caliper road fork that's
365-370 a-t-c
40-45mm rake
Can be straight or tapered
BUT... would like clearance for at least 32c
I have a tapered Columbus Fel that's 365 a-t-c, 45mm rake and clears a 28c. But it's probably to nice for my needs and i'd rather have something with more tyre clearance if it exists (without slackening the front end too much).
