How do I know what forks will fit my bike?

Do bikes forks fit all?

Will any fork fit my bike? No. Many modern bikes use a 1 1/8” head tube standard (taking a threadless 1 1/8” steerer tube), but the tapered head tube (with a lower diameter of 1.5” and an upper diameter of 1 1/8”) is also growing in popularity, and calls for a steerer tube to match.

How do you size a new bike fork?
