I want to replace with a rigid fork. been looking on http://www.niagaracycle.com/index.ph...46_4602_460203 wondering witch one will work for me. I'm defiantly mechanically incline just don't know a lot on bicycles.

I think that people have been leading you astray. I doubt, highly, that a modern aluminum bike would have a 1" steer tube. Measure the diameter of the quill you have now. If it is a 1" it will measure 22.2 mm. If it is a 1 1/8" it will measure 25.4mm. I'll leave it up to the reader to do the conversion. If you don't have a caliper to measure with, you can use a quarter. 25.4mm...oh, alright, it's an inch...is just wider than a quarter. 22.2mm is significantly narrower.
