Well, I decided to go with a 185mm rotor and the Surly fork. Changing rotor size would not be that much of an expense if I can't live with the 185mm.
The wheel set I bought used has a 24 hole UST rim. It's an MTB specific wheel, so I'm hoping that will make up for the very low spoke count. I also like the UST rim for it's ease at running a standard tire with sealant since I've had very good luck with my home made sealant in Serfas Drifter tires. I just changed to Specialized Nimbus EX tires, so that good luck with sealant may not last.
