There's potential for confusion with the terminology for threaded systems, since a 1" threaded system uses a quill stem that fits the inside, not the outside, of the fork, and thus is smaller than 1" but is still nominally called a 1" stem because it fits the fork with the 1" O.D. steer tube.
Thanks guys.
