I have an old canondale tourer which I am using as a cyclocross frame.
I want to swap the heavy steel fork for a carbon fork with disc tabs.
The frame has a 1 inch steerer.
I was looking at options and Nashbar do one but do not ship outside the states.
Any other suggestions
Exotic do some 1 inch steerer MTB forks
Depends on how you feel about aesthetics I suppose

Looking for 700c forks.
Did the 3 peaks cyclocross this yearand they stipulate that you need 700c wheels.
Croix de Fer owners (including myself) have the same problem.
straight 1 1/8" steer, disc tabs (post/IS don't care), room for 35-40c, qr/15mm axle.
Right now the only option that suits the purpose is the pricey Ritchey

You can get those Exotic forks linked above in 1 inch steerer, 46.5cm length (i.e 700c).

Road / CX forks generally 400-420mm a/c dimension - a 460mm fork will result in a 2-3 degree 'slackening' of HTA which will change handling. Think there's a shorter version.
Goes fat bird cycles had a 11\8 straight fork van Nicholas which might be of use
OP I assume you need canti bosses?
Otherwise those Exotic forks come in a good range of lengths

Not if there's a 1" steerer tube
eXotics on eBay come in 39, 42.5, 44.5 and a 29er length Axle to crown.
The best product I've found is £136 carbon bladed number on bikediscount.de, 40cm. These are all to fit my 1&1/8th not 1" sorry.
