I need to buy a new cyclocross fork with 45mm of trail and a 395mm axle to crown length.
Although I would happy with an [url= http://www.bikeman.com/FK1430.html ]Alpha Q[/url] or a [url= http://www.enve.com/forks/cross.aspx ]Enve [/url]they are a little out of price range.

I like the idea of the [url= http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/products/forks/cross/purecx ]Kinesis Pure CX[/url] as it can mount a brake cable hanger, but the axle to crown is 405mm.
Is that extra 10mm going to drastically alter the handling of the bike?

Will your frame take an internal headset?

I use a Ritchey WCS which has been excellent. No idea on the measurements.

No the frame has external headset....

the WCS looks lovely and is 45mm/400mm axle to crown, but it doesn't have brake hanger mount and is out of my price range.
