I was always planning on adding a fork brace but replacing the steel fender with my fibreglass one just moved it up the list a little I dont think the stock fender added much resistance to the forks twisting but since I want to be able to get the most out of the CX and am trying to add some 'Racer' to the 'Cafe' it was an easy decision to add the brace. Just putting the front wheel between my knees and heaving on the bars shows how much these old bikes with skinny forks can really benefit from a bit of extra strength.
