While I have seen canti/disc carbon forks offered before (i.e., Winwood / see images), does anyone know any disc only carbon forks that can handle a cross (700) sized tire?

The canti studs can be removed if they bother you that much-

Wound-up will configure one of their forks for you with disc or canti. Here's the canti version. I couldn't find an image of the disc version.

Having recently ordered a redline frame and asked about their carbon forks, I believe they are about to start making them in either disc or canti versions only (not dual). Might be worth a call to check.

Kul... Its not that the canti studs bother me so much, its just my crazy idea to keep the bike as clean as possible as its also a fixed cross. I just thought about mixing it up a bit by having a hydralic front brake..

I have hydraulics on my MTB. They are a pain. Sure they stop great in all conditions, but they require constant attention to keep them clean and operating properly.
I do not know about cable discs, but I will never put hydraulic on another bike.

Only problem with hydraulic brakes is that they limit your bar choice. With a little dremel work, i got the brake lever onto bullhorns, but i can't swap them onto drop bars. On my ss, i run drop bars, 287V levers, and avid mechanical brakes.
