Tapered fork into 1 1/8 tube
Can someone post a link to what I need to put a tapered fork in a plain 1 1/8" tube? I'm looking to put this clearanced fork into a Specialized Hardrock:

I already found the hub adapters.
Thanks.
ETA:
This?

I also need to know if I can use the 15mm axle fork with my 9mm QR hubs. I have these wheels:

Looks like the right headset IF you have the correct type of steer tube. If you read the questions/answers on Jenson it explains the need for a semi-integrated, zero stack steer tube with 44mm internal diameter. Have you measured your bike?

Edit: just remembered that I went through this very question when chosing a hub last year. I needed a 9mm hub that was convertable to 15mm in the future. This ruled XT out for me.

It will depend on the frame and hubs. Some frames cannot take a tapered fork. Others will need a new bottom headset cup.
With hubs, some can be switched by replacing the end caps. Some can't. On the ones that are convertible, the end caps are specific to each brand and model.
