what you saying?

the 1 1/8" forks go through the regular cups no worries.

top fits in fine

your shaft is wider at the bottom?
dont forget the bottom bit will have the "inner race" that sits in the bearings

If it's giving you a nightmare you'll need to start looking for early 1 1/8th forks with no steerer tube weirdness or 1" ahead forks from midschool days....

Gee (now specs) has done this on a Haro bash-guard so it can be done

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #10 on:** November 03, 2005, 11:13 PM »

yeah, i know it could be done but i wanted it done NOW!

fekkin bmx. its a curse i tell ya....i should have stuck to lego....at least the blue and red pieces weren't any dearer than the black and white.....

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #11 on:** November 03, 2005, 11:14 PM »

It can totally be done - I used to sell the bloody converter cups!!! But fork technology has moved on a bit and steerer tubes ain't all the same any more, hence the problems...
