1" easton ec90 aero fork to use in 1 1/8" integrated headset frame?
my cousin has a fuji carbon road frame with a 1 1/8" integrated headset..... he wants to replace the fork with a easton ec 90 aero fork however its a 1" steer tube.....
is there anyway we can make this work? can we change out the integrated headset? etc?

I think you are SOL. There are standard press-in headsets to reduce a 1-1/8" frame fit a 1" fork but I don't know of any integrated headsets that allow this.

I imagine you could fashion something similar from a cnc machine since the specs for integrated headsets are readily available. But then again opportunity cost hits you in the face.
