Certainly go with a Surly fork or something similar. XLC stuff is garbage. I have unfortunately had to sell and have used some of their products and wouldn't recommend them. Their brake pads were especially nasty, like a mushy clump of seaweed (the calipers were Dura Ace and the levers SRAM TT levers with relatively fresh cables/housing and no adjustments were made to the brake from the previous Jagwire pads nor the newer DA pads which felt much better)
