Can anybody recommend a good carbon fork with aluminum steerer that is compatible with Look's integrated headset?
Many Thanks.
No fork recommendations but there is nothing special about Look's headsets that would affect what forks you can use. You'll just need to transfer the headset crown race from your HSC4 to the new fork (easy job since the race is split).

I'm curious though about your fork being "long in the tooth." What's wrong with it that you want to replace it?
