Thank you Arno It is possible if your frame headtube is 44 mm diameter. Google search this. I have a tapered fork on a straight GT aluminium frame, the adapter I bought on Aliexpress. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted July 21, 2023 Share As Martin said it's possible depending on the frame and there would be a slight change in geometry which is neither here nor there for a rider like me but 'sensitive' mountain bikers may notice .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted July 21, 2023 Share If it's a 44mm head tube, an EC44/40 lower cup will sort you out. If it's a 34mm head tube I can replace the tapered steerer with a straight one, but it'll be about twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted July 21, 2023 Share Nukeproof do great headsets in all the weird sizes. I used one on my steel HT build to fit a Pike. CRC has them and there is a useful part finder/size catalogue on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
