I found these 1.5 to 1.56 shims.

I have no idea how they would work with a steerer that's supposed to be a-head with a crown race and compression bung. cannondale 1.56" is an interference fit.

Might be worth a punt though if you are committed to that fork.

yeah I presume those are for using a 1.56 stem on 1.5 forks.
I guess I'm going to have to get a new headset as I'll need a crown race and top nut for the forks.
Anyone have any recomendations for carbon forks? anyone tried anything chinese from ebay?

That never actually crossed my mind! It does say 'Adapter HS' rather than 'Adapter Stem' but what you suggest seems more sensible!
