Just to pick some brains on forks...

I've measured my frame which gives headtube length of 157mm (with 165mm to bottom of the cup it has fitted)

I was looking at these forks kingkong recommended http://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/product2.asp?product_id=1235&pname=Steel%20Forks

They have 254mm steerer of which 152mm is threaded. So this would be too long for me right? or does one always cut them down?

I haven't got a headset yet which I understand makes some difference... but not 10cm right?
