Tapered suspension fork in a straight head tube

Yes, you can fit a tapered fork in a straight headtube provided that your headtube had an inside diameter of 44mm and your fork has a standard tapered crown of 40 mm (technically 39.87)

Parktool 788 reamer. U can ream the bottom 2 mm to fit a ec44/40 bottom

I wondered about that - was somewhat concerned about weakening the frame though. Thoughts?

[@craighathaway22]

@@realmentalpulse2622 depends on who you talk to. Some people would say absolutely not not touch it and it will weaken the frame. Other people will say what is a mm here or there??? For me I say it depends on how wide the od of the frame is. If there is some meat left, and you want a tapered fork, then I would do it. Tbh I am in the process of doing it myself. I am going to take 1.5mm from frame and .5 mm from the cup 🤷🏽‍♂️. Some people can call me crazy but the bike is a 2015 and I bought it before I knew that 42mm eccups weren't available. I already bought a 2022 lyrik so I am running with it. Hopefully I will be smiling on the trail w my new tapered suspension that they told me I couldn't have soon????

[@craighathaway22]

I originally bought a funn lower cup but since got the cane creek bc it is deeper, which is needed to fit the tapered part all the way up into the tube as the shallow funn was hitting. I mean it's not a 12 cylinder Ferrari motor we are talking about here. It's a 10 year old mtb head tube that needs a little massage to catch up to the times 😄

Did you do this? How did it turn out? I'm very interested in this procedure.

Hi. Do you think that there's a headset for 2009 Stumpjumper Comp to fit a tapered fork?

[@realmentalpulse2622]

There might be, I'd ask your local shop

[@gigiodeliberato1124]

Hi.Where did you find this headset. Is It possíble put a tapered fork at Banshee Amp 2010 integrated 42.Best regards.

[@realmentalpulse2622]

Its a 42/48 headset. FSA makes one. It won't work on a campy integrated headtube though, this project did not work out so well but I've seen it done on a straight headtube that is 42mm
