To the OP, Forks are measured by the OD and as you noted, the standards are inch sizes. I don't get you, you measured your fork yourself and came up to 28.5mm or just under 1-1/8" and yet you so readily accept 1" (25.4) as the correct fork. You were better off before you asked.
Since my current fork is just under 1-1/8, wouldn't exactly 1-1/8 be a touch to large? That was my main concern. It wasn't exactly either of the sizes, but it would make more sense to go with the smaller one, as a larger one potentially wouldn't fit at all. Get me now? I'll measure the inside diameter of the headset and go with that me thinks. Thank you all for confusing me.
