I want to replace the stock fork with a rigid. Does anyone know what size I would need? Will a Surly 1x1 fit? The Surly 1x1 measures: Rake = 45mm and the Steerer (I don't even know what that is) = 260mm

I don't want to spend more than $100.00 for the fork. How much (for labor) should I expect my LBS to charge to do the swap?

My 08 Specialized Hardrock Sport is a 17" frame non-disc model.
