Help with tapered steerer tube
First time dealing with a tapered steerer tube so please bear with me.
I want to swap out my crappy Suntour suspension fork for a rigid, suspension corrected mtb fork with a tapered steerer which I plan on ordering soon. Tapered steerer tubes are supposed to measure 1.5” at the crown but the tube on my fork is 40mm or about 1-9/16” wide, which is a tad wider than 1.5”.
Is this the standard?

generally the crown race seat has a slightly larger diameter then the rest of the steerer right above the seat.
Cane Creek's headset dimensional specs pages shows the 1.5" fork crown race seat to need a 39.75-39.85mm diameter. headset-identification-and-specification-guide.pdf (canecreek.com) Andy

Awesome, thank you!
So the crown race I pulled out of this fork should press fit most any 1.5” steerer …. .?
