  1. Does anyone know of an adaptor made so that I can use a 1" THREADED fork on
    a frame with a 1 1/8" Head Tube?? I know there is CK Devolution HS, but it
    is a threadless solution, and my fork is threaded.

    TIA,

    John

    Yup. You need a standard 1" threaded headset, which you may already
    have, and 1-1/8" to 1" reducing shims for the head tube. They look like
    this: http://www.sjscycles.com/store/item6295.htm

    Don't overthink this, it's simple.
    Instead of a $125+ special headset, just get the $15 liners
    to install a traditional one inch headset in your
    revisionist oversized frame.

    We have 'em, but then again so do most competent LBS.

    Sure-Quality Bike Parts has one, an adapter that slides into the 1 1/8inch
    headtube, then you install a 1 inch HS into it. I just bought one for a Moots
    so I can use a 1 inch Woundup threaded cross fork-About $25.
