JTK Posted March 15, 2014 Share Hi guys, I need to temporarily run my wifes new frame with a reducer to enable me to use a straight steerer fork in a 1.5inch tapered frame. What is the best oprion to go down this route? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 15, 2014 Share There are crown race reducers that most lbs's should carry, that allow a straight steerer fork to fit a tapered head tube. Cheap and easy. No need to replace a headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 15, 2014 Share It will fit on to the fork, like a normal crown race. It's just a bit bigger than a normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 15, 2014 Share Normal crown race for a tapered fork on the right, crown race reducer for a straight fork to fit in to a tapered headset on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
