That's the biggest problem with most so called, "repair forks". They make em one size fits all with enough thread to shorten it to fit the smallest common head tube without having to extend the threads.
It's getting hard to find forks that aren't like that. I've had the best luck at old, long established bike shops. They usually have a stack of them somewhere.
