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

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

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.

[@Lechaysidude]

Hi.. was your head tube 1 1/8... Im trying to make my Giant Talon 2 to be able to use a tapered fork.. any help will be appreciated

Yes it is.. and the adapter is head set lower cup EC40/44 (bearing is included) by wolftooth.com

@Bored Mechanic Thank You I had a feeling that was the size.. I actually ordered two head sets so far trying to figure out the size. Blindly doing it. I did order what I need to get started rather than guessing size. I truly appreciate your help.

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
