1 1/8" forks in 1" headtubed frame?

[fugazi]

Hi guys,

I've got a 1" headtubed KHE Premium Lagger frame which I was thinking of building, but want to use 1 1/8" forks. Now, is it easier to get the headtube reamed and use normal theadless cups etc or use mix n match threaded/theadless bits? I remember doing this years ago using some 1" cups, loose balling it and some aheadset bits, but can't remember exactly which bits I used.  Any advice welcome as I really don't want to use the KHE Rampforks I have laying about in it!

Cheers for that 

So it seems it is a case of offering various bearings/races up until something works, better dig some more old headsets out!!!
