Which headset for a 1 1 1/8" head tube with 1" fork?

I have a frame with an oversize head tube but with 1 inch fork tube.

I also have an oversize Chris King headset, but the two obviously don't match up. The question I'm asking is: is there a Chris King conversion kit available?

Also, fruitless searches appear to have not shown any decent 1" ahead stems anywhere.

Help?

1 1/8" is not "oversize".

just get a 1 1/8" stem and use a shim.

that wouldn't make the headset fit the forks though..

Just get a 1 1/8" stem with a shim. You'll have a much wider choice of stems then.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
