There's limited vailability on 1/8 straight steerer carbon cx forks so I wondering would 29er rigid carbon forks such as these, [url= http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&c=43&p=197& ]exotic carbon[/url]work on a cx bike, any thoughts?

Ritchley, ENVE, Wound up, all make them.

Oath wise if the trail is the same why not use an MTB fork mate.

That'll probably still be too long. You probably want something with around a 400mm a2c height. What frame is it for?

Disc or canti? How long a steerer? I've got some Pro carbon 1 1/8th ones in the garage going begging.

disk, it's for my norco threshold, tbh it's more possible fettling out of interest to see if it works than any need, the bike is a spare now
