Replacing a gravel bike front fork (lemmy.world)

I am looking for some advice on how to go about finding replacement front fork for my gravel bike. I bought my bike second hand and it was already a few years old at the time I believe which might explain why it is hard to come by a replacement part. The bike in question is a Fuji sportif le one.0.

I am looking for a fork which:

  • has a steerer length of ~10 3/4 inches
  • has a steerer diam of 1 1/8 inches
  • fits a tapered bearing
  • will fit a 9x100 QR axle
  • has a post mount disc brake interface
  • will fit my 28x700c wheels and tires

I have been put onto this ENVE fork which looks a bit too good to be true.

If anyone has tips for looking for new forks, things that I have missed, or other suggestions I would be all ears. Every time I think I may have found a solution I end up learning something new about why it would not work for me.

OK, now the picture is showing. I'd consider it a tapered fork, and it looks like it has a removable crown race. The Enve fork should be fine. Make sure to get a good compression plug, and only tighten the stem with a torque wrench so you don't ruin your new fork.
