- Yes, you can fit a tapered fork in a straight headtube provided that your headtube had an inside diameter of 44mm and your fork has a standard tapered crown of 40 mm (technically 39.87)

Great video! Your comment about the Campy 45/45 integrated headset dashed my dreams haha. BUT this video is two years old, so do you think the BOX
Two Alloy Sealed Integrated 45 x 45 1.5" Tapered Headset would work? Maybe it wasn't out when you made the video, or maybe I'm just not thinking about it correctly. Cheers!
The bike I have is a ZOOZ ebike with a 45/45 integrated headset but it fits a 1 1/8" straight steerer tube so there's got to be something out there that lets me run a tapered fork.
@@GatewoodBrown there is a way as long as its not the campy/bmx spec
Manitou still makes the Circus Expert Dirt Jump fork in a straight tube.
@@obxarms7685 no thats the point of the video putting tapered in straight headtube
Thanks will trying this
Parktool 788 reamer. U can ream the bottom 2 mm to fit a ec44/40 bottom
I wondered about that - was somewhat concerned about weakening the frame though. Thoughts?
@@realmentalpulse2622 depends on who you talk to. Some people would say absolutely not not touch it and it will weaken the frame. Other people will say what is a mm here or there??? For me I say it depends on how wide the od of the frame is. If there is some meat left, and you want a tapered fork, then I would do it. Tbh I am in the process of doing it myself. I am going to take 1.5mm from frame and .5 mm from the cup 🤷🏽♂️. Some people can call me crazy but the bike is a 2015 and I bought it before I knew that 42mm eccups weren't available. I already bought a 2022 lyrik so I am running with it. Hopefully I will be smiling on the trail w my new tapered suspension that they told me I couldn't have soon????
I originally bought a funn lower cup but since got the cane creek bc it is deeper, which is needed to fit the tapered part all the way up into the tube as the shallow funn was hitting. I mean it's not a 12 cylinder Ferrari motor we are talking about here. It's a 10 year old mtb head tube that needs a little massage to catch up to the times 😄
Did you do this? How did it turn out? I'm very interested in this procedure.
Thank you.
Hi where ca I find the adapter to put a straight tube on a Fox36 suspention
Excellent video, down to the need for the exact type of lower headset to accommodate a contemporary tapered fork in a 44mm straight head tube. Pulse, what about the upper headset? Would I be looking for a 44mm upper external cup or will the 44mm head tube and tapered fork accept a zero stack type upper headset? Thanks.
@@loft4meon a tapered fork the top is standard 1 1/8, so its a stock upper bearing/stem/spacer
@@realmentalpulse2622 I appreciate the info, thank you.
can i get a link or name for tge adapter pls
i belive fork centres can modify steerer tubes?
Just gonna ask if you're going to sell your fox straight tube
Sold it...and the bike too actually
Hi. Do you think that there's a headset for 2009 Stumpjumper Comp to fit a tapered fork?
There might be, I'd ask your local shop
Hi.Where did you find this headset.
Is It possíble put a tapered fork at Banshee Amp 2010 integrated 42.Best regards.
Its a 42/48 headset. FSA makes one. It won't work on a campy integrated headtube though, this project did not work out so well but I've seen it done on a straight headtube that is 42mm
@@realmentalpulse2622 Thanks tô answer.
