If the original fork is still on the bike, adjust it as you would for riding. Have a friend sit in the bike to settle it, and measure from the top of the crown (just under the headset) to the axle. That's the crown to axle distance that rigid forks will specify. BTW- this isn't rocket science, since the settle amounts vary anyway, so anything close is fine.
If you don't have a friend to sit on the bike, you can measure the crown to axle distance on the unloaded fork, and subtract 25% of the travel.
