On my CX forks, (kinisis and redline aluminum) it would work, except the canti stud location-some carbon forks look a little tighter though.
I need to resurect my SS/fixed MTB. It's been canabalized for spare parts-it looks at me like a beaten dog when I walk past it. So many bicycles.....
I have this fork:

No canti studs or anything to get in the way and pretty wide. I was more wondering if the bike handling would be messed up by using a longer fork.
I can see it now, the ultimate dorky commuter winter mullet bike. Full fenders, 2 speed freewheel, 1 speed fixed, disc in front, v in back...
I think keith mentioned he saw a jones at a 24 hour mtb race or something. There was a small crowd gathered around it.
