Soma Champs Elysees fork on Surly cross check

Have anyone done this? I have not read how it behaves anywhere.

Looking at the geometry of a 56 cm cross check frame it would put me at roughly 45 mm trail which I think should be ok with a front bag. Anyone tried or heard of anyone that tried? I'd be happy for intelligent guesses as well

I get the same result, so trail-wise it ought to be nice.

Make sure you don't order the "road" version by mistake...
