The 1" x 24tpi die should be fine. If your die stock is unpiloted, you need to be careful to keep it on axis. This is more of an issue when threading an unthreaded tube; extending threads allows the existing threads to pilot the die to a large extent, but it still pays to be careful.
Anyone know what the pitch (fine vs course) is on a standard fork? Thank you.
Not sure what you're asking here. 24tpi is the pitch for an English/ISO standard 1" threaded steer tube.
