Would it be possible to find an even longer steerer tube/fork to pair with my surly? Is that a bad idea/dangerous? I already have a tall stem and can't go taller that way.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. An un-cut steerer tube is pretty long. Can't imagine you'd be want anything higher. See if they've got one at your LBS and you'll see what I mean. The feeling is a lot more solid than using a tall stem because the steerer is welded to the fork. It's all one piece, essentially. Hope this helps.
