  Thanks! I've ordered one.

  You are correct, I thought it was permanently attached to the fork but a little prising with a knife and it came straight off.

  I'm guessing that my forks are in fact straight 1 1/8 and that I can use the recommended headset from Dolan? The Alpina 36/45 which is on their website.

  So are the forks pictured not considered 'tapered'? I was hoping to be able to fit these forks into my new frame (Dolan Pre Cursa). I believe the frame usually takes a 1 1/8 steerer with a 36/45 headset but I'm unsure whether my forks will fit into that headset.

  Thanks!

  Hey,

  I've recently purchased a Dolan Pre Cursa frame and in my naivety I thought the forks I already owned would fit. I own a pair of carbon fibre, alloy steerer forks from a Boardman Bike that have a steerer that looks like:
  

  Is the, what looks like a spacer, normal at the base of the steerer? Can anyone recommend a headset I can use?

  Thanks!

  Thanks, I think I'm going to take your advice and buy either a new rear wheel or full set.
