Looking For a 1" fgfs fork to clear frame with 700c Wheels
Looking for a steel fork to put on a Soma Rush. I want to do barspins, the Soma has a 1 inch steer tube so I know its gonna be hard to find. Is there any way to put a 1 1/8 inch fork on a 1"? Do your thing internet.

If the steerer tube will fit through the head tube you can make (have made) adapters to take the bigger headset, these are stainless steel ones I had machined at my local machine shop.

I'm trying to find some rigid freestyle forks for my Peugeot 501 at the moment and its a nightmare. RJ the bike guy has some videos about this subject on youtube.
Basically its not possible to use 1 1/8 steerer fork on a 1" head tube because once the headset cups are in place it just wont fit.
Struggling to find some decent rigid forks with a 1" steerer, they are very rare and expensive. If you find any let me know!

Thats cool that you got it working. I've been looking tonight and apparently there is a way where you have to ream out the inside of the head tube to fit a larger headset cup like from a bmx. Maybe i'll try this. Most of the parts I want to use are bmx parts anyway so it'll make my life easier.
