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.

The question of whether my tube tapers or not has been hard for me to answer. My steerer looks to interface with the bearing at a wider diameter than the steerer is at the top. In saying that though, the tube doesn't taper smoothly...

Would you call this a "tapered" or "straight" tube? This is effectively a taper I would think.
