English > How-To
how to: 1" threaded frame with 1 1/8" forks
CatWeasle:
Nice man ty! I imagine I will prolly do this.
I still like my idea of putting the cups outside the ht,
coz then i can use sealed bearings.
The problem is every set of forks needs to have the step in the steerer turned off,
unless I can find acb bearings with 1 3/16 inner race.
OldYeller:
I just ordered one of the Cane creek 1 1/8" and two 1" cups for $33 including shipping.
Fingers crossed. :beer:
CatWeasle:
How'd this go Old Yeller?
Thinking I will try and get 1 1/8 Kore forks on my Morales.
OldYeller:
Complete failure on the cane creek. The cups were the small ten speed size and the cups were too big to go through a gyro.
I ended up having a set of heavy duty cups machined to fit a 1" headtube.

CatWeasle:
Thanks for the info.
hmm-not sure what to do,
but it seems it will involve some machining.
My local guys just got a lathe-so, cool
Really want these forks on there,
so it will be loose ball at worst.
edit- so I think now I will machine the races out to 1 1/8,
and use 1"cups. Looking at the parts I think it will work.
Need some really tough races if I can find them.
