The adapter is it easy to find ?

[@bardzon370]

Hi sir, question. Do you have an idea of what size of adapter should I buy for my tapered rs recon-rl boost? Been searching but couldn't find it. I ended up buying the wrong size.. nice vid btw.

[@boredmechanic2019]

Sorry late reply... try wolftooth.com adapter is EC40/44. Hope that info will help.

[@nolanluther5541]

This may seem like a stupid question but did you put a crown race on the fork? Thanks

[@boredmechanic2019]

No it's not a stupid question 🙏❤️. The fork comes with the crown race so I didn't mentioned it on the video. Thank you for taking the time and for watching. Keep safe and Ride safe ❤️🇨🇦. Cheers

[@sandorczeh2206]

Thx guy your video! I'd like to take some question for this upgrade. I' ve a Giant Talon 4 2021 with 44mm ZeroStack straight headtube but I' d like to use 15mm E-Thru axle fork. I couldn 't find with 1-1/8 straight stereer tube only tapered tube versions in 2nd hand market in good preises. I asked the warranty after this setup from Giant distribute. They answered that I will lost the frame liftime warranty if built in EC 44 tapered adapter cup&bearing combo. Im afraid to crack the tapered fork with this headtube bearing. Do you have some experience, how your bike' s head tube withstands the forces of your tapered tube fork while this one year? What do you think, how many risk means both traveled 110x15mm boost tapered fork than older 9mm QR 1,1/8 straight tube fork for the straight tube bike frames? Sorry for my little novel and thanks for your answer.

[@boredmechanic2019]

Thank you for taking the time... it should hold the force for the lower cup installation. And I'm not so sure for the warranty from Giant but they should consider your setup. Keep safe

[@sandorczeh2206]

@@boredmechanic2019 Thanks your answer. Do you can share your experiences with this setup on your bike in one year from last video in 2020? I 'd be happy to see that in a video your channel.

[@nolanluther5541]

Thank you so much for commenting this. I have a 2021 Talon 2 and wasn’t able to figure out if the headset would fit, and this just saved me a lot of time.

[@morbit2001]

greetings do you think a change from Satourn straight headtube to Rockshock Judy tapered is possible by changing the lower headset cup? i have a specialized sport pitch 27,5' 2015...

What will be the size of steerer tube (in inch) recommended mo sir? para di mabitin sa streerer tube. pagkinabit sa headtube w/ adapter? Planning to buy, tapered fork but Non tapered headtube ko. yung bibilhin ko 2nd hand, nasa 7.2inch ang stereer tube? di kaya yun mabibitin?

Hi sir, I have a really hard time choosing the size of the headset, I have 44-44 mm tube to a tapered fork which is 27r, what headset should I choose?

[@boredmechanic2019]

Yours is kinda different ... your lowers is good for a tapered type steerer however you need a smaller upper cup and/or bearings conversions.
