Dirt Tracker Posted April 12, 2022 Share I think I pretty much know the answer but is there any way to fit a 1 1/8 - 1 5 tapered steerer fork into a Niner MCR 9 Steel with a straight head tube but wondered if I'd missed some trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milosh Posted April 12, 2022 Share I also have heard of this , but my NIner EMD has a slightly smaller Head tube Read this than check size of head tube https://www.mtbr.com/threads/2010-niner-emd-and-tapered-fork.759370/ Good luck and post results please Edited April 12, 2022 by Milosh spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted April 12, 2022 Share MCR 9 has a 34mm head tube from what I can see, so you're out of luck. You can get a straight steerer fitted to a tapered fork, but it does come at a price... Dirt Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYGA Posted April 12, 2022 Share I mailed Niner about this sometime back when I wanted to upgrade a fork on my MCR and the answer was a definite no. They were unfortunately also dead set against fitting a fork with more than 100mm of travel to that frame. I still regret selling that bike!

Out of interest, what fork are you looking to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
