    Hey I work at a bike shop. This is actually totally okay to do
    So long as your okay with kissing the dirt at 30 mph

    This is pretty dangerous cause your relying on that small shim to hold the fork I’m not convinced

    My e-bike came from the shop with a straight fork in a tapered frame... I rode it for over 3000 miles and not had any problem.

    Don’t do this if you value your face. Get either a reducing lower headset cup and smaller bearing or a legit crown race to increase the bearing size.

    Pro tip, use the right fork style for any given frame, not worth the risk/hassle

    If the converter is a Crown race pounded onto the steerer tube of the fork I would say it’s legit. Plastic is definitely not great crown race material

    Nobody does this because getting a decent straight fork is actually pretty hard to do. Just buy a tapered fork.

    So I believe that there are bigger bearings for your headset that can convert from tapered to straight by using consistently shaped holes on the inside of the bearings

    This is not how its done completely false thats just a crown raise of a tapered fork but you can get bearings for taper to straight

    "If you are trying to fit a straight fork into a tapered frame...." get help. Don't wait until your friends stage an intervention...
