You just need a crown race that fits on 1 1/8 with bearing contact surfaces for 1 1/4
Like this but not 1.5"

PhilDAS-
ah yeah thats a good bet, the only problem is that i was lining up the headset on the fork and it really hangs over the edge, which is a bummer. Looks really weird. The fork crown is quite small and is dwarfed by a 44mm headtube and big ec headset.
Ill just sell the fork and find a tapered one. Its a shame because its a really nice fork. would look great on a smaller headtube/headset.

Not really framebuilding related, but making related.
I have 1/8th straight fork that i want to use on an upcoming build, I also have a nice ck inset 8 that i want to use. However the inset 8 is 1/8th to 1/4, crown race on the fork is 1/8th.
Is there anything wrong with just machining a little collar that steps the 1/8th up to 1/4 so that i can use the nice headset?
