What fork is it? Why does it need changing? If its a headshok or lefty, it'll probably be fine with a service or rebuild

If its a Cannondale which has a 1.5inch head tube with the correct headset in you can fit virtually any fork
1,1/8th Fork with headset reducers
Tapered Fork(Which has a steerer which reduces from 1.5inches to 1 1/8th)
Straight 1.5inch fork
Cannondale Headshok
And lastly
Cannondale Lefty.
Main question is why does the fork require replacing?

Might be worth resetting the needle bearing too. It's an easy 5min job.
