just wanting to double check if it 1.5" to 1 1/8 (or 1.25 to 1 1/8)
You could always try looking on the Trek website

How right you are. Thanks.
So 1.5 it is.
So, any tapered 1.5" fork?
Are reducer headsets a massive no-no on road bikes? I know a few MTBers who use them so presummably not too bad. Although might look a bit shit. He's just trying to resurrect his crashed bike as a shopping bike now he has a new one. (I've told him the frame may be toast but he's convinced its fine, I've not seen it). So looks are unimportant, plus I have some standard forks he can have.

I know the 2010 Trek Madone came with a tapered steerer.

but just wanting to double check if it 1.5" to 1 1/8 (or 1.25 to 1 1/8). I think 1.5 is correct.
Asking for a friend of a friend who needs new forks. Am I right in thinking any tapered forks (1.5" to 1 1/8) will do? or do they have to be a specific type? (built in crown race, integrated/semi integrated etc....).
