1 1/8" threaded? Are you sure? They're very rare and were only really made for mountain bikes for about six months in the late 80s. Almost all threaded forks are 1", so if you want to convert a 1 1/8 threadless bike to threaded then you're out of luck. Better just accept that bike technology moved on for a reason and that threadless has its advantages.
If you just want a new fork to replace a threaded one then you are looking for 1", but you need to measure the steerer tube too so you get one that's a similar length.[/quote]
Doh... of course. All apologies... Was getting my measurements confused. The fork I have is threaded, but the stem is seized. The guy who sold it to me has just hacksawed through the stem, and I can't shift it...
Long story, but I am after a standard threaded fork.
