More project ideas going though my head.

Considering reusing an old 1"/ 26.0 stem but the Helix is 1-1/8".

For those that are running a 1" fork on a 1-1/8" frame, can you post a pic? Wondering if the small diameter fork ends up looking goofy on the larger diameter headset/ head tube.

Which fork are you using? Are there any out there with 1" steerer but wider crown to smooth the transition?

How did you do it - CK devo baseplate, reducing adapters...?

Thanks very much

Ive used plenty of 1 1/8'' stems on 1'' forks but never a 1'' fork in a frame designed for 1 1/8''......

Don't use up all the 1" forks...they're tough enough for us vintage drivers to find without you modern guys hogging them all up...

So here's the related question.... How do I use a 1 1/8" or tapered fork on a 1" headset? If I reverse the settings on the turbo encabulator, will that work?
