1 1/8" to 1" headset conversion?
« on: March 11, 2012, 12:00:43 AM »
My Sick Child Aqueduct is 1 1/8" head tube and my Hoffman EP forks are 1". Is there a conversion headset?

I thought about just putting the forks in there and sliding the spacers on the fork tube to straighten them out. I'm thinking the spacers would slide into the bearings. Even so, that's so little contact area and might damage the bearings.
