looking for carbon disc fork with huge tire clearance, Rake 49mm
technically I have 56mm of front fork clearance on my Tricross...
however, with rim brakes open the brake pads are about 40mm apart - so any tire bigger would need a deflate and aggressive pulling to change wheels. Not ideal for tubeless!
I just got some lower profile pad holders and looks like I can squeeze another few mm of clearance. Still not enough to run 45mm or 29x18...
so thinking of going disc in front to avoid the rim brake clearance issue...

ENVE would be my choice if I was buying a standalone fork.
