I answer this question and showed the solution within the last week UTFS.

out of curiousity, is there a device that enables you to use a 1" fork in a 1 1/8" threadless headset?

there used to be headset parts which allowed you to use 1" threadless in 1 1/8" threadless, it's really only the crown race and top race/cap arrangement that matters in that case.

probably only find stuff like that in bike shop parts bins these days, or tommy's shims there which mean you use the whole 1" headset

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

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
