Rad though.

The only problem with guards on the straggler is that is has semi horizontal dropouts. pita to get the rear wheel out no?

Only if you're running a single speed transmission.

with my Cross Check, even with 38mm tyres had to let air out to remove rear wheel. you will always get that with semi-horizontal if you want a good fit on guards.

I find it less cumbersome to unscrew the two mudguard fixing bolts.

Aren't you thinking about track-ends... (where those front SKS clippy things also work great too)

CC dropouts are forward facing so you need to let the air out to move the wheel towards the downtube with big tyres/full mudguards

oh, I see, sure I was.

Yes CC's dropouts are "old road bike" -style. But a question: if you are taking your rear wheel off, aint the usual situation so that the tyre is already empty (flat) OR you are going to empty it anyway?

IMO works a lot better than track dropouts with full length fenders.

In my experience, yes.

The exception being removing the wheel to change the cassette/truing etc. which is done at home anyway so not really a big deal.

It does, if I'm getting a custom fixed wheel frame, I'd get horizontal drop out instead of track end.

Yes, most of the frustration comes during the build and setting up process. So you do not end up with an uneven gap like the picture in your post.

Th I don't really like the unicrown fork on the Genesis Croix de Fer 931

The one thing I don't like about mine, that and the fork is cro-mo, I did wonder about getting a Surly LHT disc fork intead, or even get it custom made from something nice.

LHT would be a good compromise, but in the flesh I think the Genesis fork looks fine.

The main advantage of the LHT is clearance for 45mm, I can just about managed 40mm on the CdF.

45mm rake should be ok with the slack headtube.

I have been thinking about getting some disc lht forks for my pomp- good idea or not??

Why not, but get the Stragger fork as they're 400mm a-t-c, if on-one measurement is correct (their fork claim to be 400mm).

I'm having this debate myself at the moment, I might just use the PDW mudguards which are designed to go over the axle - so when you pull the wheel out the mudguard comes with it.

Are you taking the brake off too?

No brake on the back- fixed.

It'll be stable without a mounting point at the brake(less) bridge?

It can also be mounted on the stay as well, unless I've misunderstood you.

The PDW is designed with a sort of "up and over" mount for the brake bridge, which a) would look really silly with no caliper there and b) won't work at all with my wishbone rear end.

So we'd probably drill and tap the underside (as it were) of the base of the wishbone for an M5 bolt and make a simple fixture of some kind.
