Untaper a Rock Shox front fork?
Hi Everyone. I came across a Rock Shox Recon Silver TK front fork. It is tapered but the frame I want to stick it in is not tapered. Is there anyway to change it to not tapered?

What type of headset do you have? if a ZS, Cane Creek make an adapter to fit a Tapered steerer into a regular 1 1/8" steerer tube.
