Road bike forks: Mudguards, Discs, Carbon - pick two

I'm trying to locate a CF fork that's a true road axle to crown height that will take a disc brake, up to a 28mm tyre, and a mudguard.

All the bikes I see running discs and mudguards are either on a steel fork, or if they use a carbon it's actually a Cyclocross fork with huge clearances. They almost universally feature poor routing for the mudguard stays as well, with the eyelet positions causing interference with the brake caliper.

Does anyone know of a product that fulfils all the criteria of sensible clearances, disc compatibility and straightforward mudguard mounting?

    No. Enve do lovely disc forks, but no mudguard eyes. Kinesis DC37 are pretty good but CX biased but have 'guard eyes. Use TRP Hy/Rd calipers, and you'll find all you need to do is use a 10mm spacer on that side - I used a brake "nut" cut down. On the back I had only to slightly bow out the stays. Much easier than BB7's, which I had before. They'll come, but not yet-a-while.

    P clips around the fork leg make good mudguard mounts.
