thanks for that but it only says the thickness of the tubing itself, not the actual diameter for sizing

It'll be 1" if it's for a quill stem. You can't install a modern (by which I presume you mean threadless ahead type?) headset with that fork without using a quill to ahead adaptor.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
