All you need to know is that 26.0 is near enough to 1" and 31.8 is near enough to 1 1/4", so you need some 1/16" shim stock taking a full lap (1/16" on two sides= 1/4") to make up the difference.
I made the delrin ring on a lathe at work and cut a slot in it with a hacksaw later, but I had the scrap close at hand. It doesn't need to be nearly that complicated.

That's the lazy way out. Besides, that much tape would look cheap.

Didn't use a shoulder. Not sure i could have- pretty sure the barfly doesn't have a consistent width the entire circumference. Protip: PVC pipe machines VERY well. I'd bet something with a thicker wall (like schedule 80, bonus grey color) would have enough diameter and thickness to hit both the 26 and 31.8mm targets.

Pulled the saddle, enve bar and xt brakes off the carve.
This bike is a rocket. I'm digging it so far.
set it up tubeless right off the bat.
Weighs 24lbs as shown.

Overall simplification of a complicated front end.

it's much stiffer. instead of 2 fork legs fighting each other, you've got one stanchion coming down directly from the headtube w/ square internals.
also, they use needle bearings which are much smoother.
