compression nut and fork inner diameter differences
Went to install a new fork with my old compression nut. Doesnt fit. The old compression nut is too big OD and wont fit the new fork ID. The new fork has an ID of 22.3mm measured with my calipers.
Does anyone know what compression nut will work with 22.3mm ID? Many sites dont actually state compatible fork IDs for the nut. Maybe it doesnt matter for most of them?
Didnt even think about potential fit issues...

I went to the LBS and they had an assortment of compression nuts. A few were 23mm that wouldnt have fit. We found at FSA that easily fit however. The guy helping didnt realize there was a diff either...
