Headset & Fork Change on Trek Verve E Bike
Hey everyone! My E Bike currently has a 460mm ATC steel fork, with a 45mm offset. It is a 1-1/8 threaded. Will I need a tapered fork replacement? Is it doable to change the headset on this bike to threadless?

I am looking to replace the fork with a 420mm atc fork, (disc brake, fender compatible, QR) with preferably 50mm or so offset, but not a requirement. Can someone please help me find something suitable?
According to the frame geometry calculator, this change would increase reach, decrease stack, lower the BB height , steepen the angles ... All great for me... But.
Decrease effective top tube length? Is that true?
I tried out a 700x28 rim and tire on the bike briefly and really enjoyed the change in geometry. The bike felt a lot better .
Thanks all!
