Replacing Surly Steamroller forks

Thinking of getting a steamroller frameset currently on offer for 280 at Wiggle, but would like to swap out the forks for something with tighter clearance and maybe slightly steeper rake.

I know people probably do this all the time so would be grateful if anyone has any recommendations.

How limited am I going to be by steerer length? Steamroller forks are 375mm so do I need the same or longer?

Is it worth attempting this myself or better to just get LBS to sort it?

Cheers, Chris

Steerer length will depend on the frame size.

Any 1/18th threadless fork with adequate length will work.

If you want something lugged with a flat crown like the stock fork, you'll probably struggle as not many are made with this steerer.

Thanks - frame size is a 56 ctt ST, head tube length 136mm. Can't find a steerer length on the Surly website though so will have to persevere with a bit more googling.

Do you reckon these would work?

I've got them on my 56 fuji track, ebay £21 NOS, they came with a pretty long steer so I would presume they would fit! There are tonnes of carbon forks knocking around on ebay and your much more likely to get a good deal on there so I'd keep your eyes peeled before buying new...

Yeah I had a look on ebay earlier and was almost put off by how cheap most of them are...

Haha, for the money you cant really go wrong! Steel and carbon ride really nice together well worth it!
