I've just got a 30mm tyre into my Dolan PC. It has the winter road fork. I think a 32 would go in the back easy.
Not sure I understand the urgency for a disc brake on a fixed bike. They don't really go fast enough to need them unless your running track gearing.

Personally speaking, improved Wet weather performance, especially with heavier stuff on the rack, reduced road buzz to rider/cargo (afforded by bigger tyres) bumping up/ down curbs. I like riding fixed in traffic/slow speeds because it feels way more controlled, but don’t always want to rely on my legs for a quick stop.

Your right, I looked closer! However, now looking at the brother steel fork.
I’ve seen photos with 35c fitted right at the end, so I’m hoping to get a 33 in there.
Not actually married to those components at all, in fact looking at this now: https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Magura-MT5-2-Finger-For-Left-or-Right-Single-Brake_101276.htm
Only problem is by the time I’ve got a fork, wheel, tyres, components. I think I’m looking at about 500... at thick point maybe it’s just worth looking at a genesis day one or similar... thoughts?
