Road Fork: Curved vs Straight? I found a frame I'm interested in building up, but it doesn't include a fork.  So I've been looking for carbon 700cc forks... with disc tabs.  I've found a few, but ran into a new dilemma - curved vs straight?

The frames I'm looking at are cyclocross/touring.  I wouldn't think 29ers are into rigid front ends.

Any reason to choose one over the other - brake chatter, bump suppression?
For a carbon-fiber disc fork the difference is almost certainly purely aesthetic. Both curved and straight forks will be designed around equivalent rake values, so the direct handling and performance will be identical.  The only other difference between curved and straight blades - mostly discussed in terms of standard steel forks - is a minimal amount of shock absorption, and much of the distinction there will be excised by the additional reinforcement required to handle the stresses of a disc brake.
