Im looking a the kona project 2 1" fork for an older mtb ive been using as a touring/commuting bike. The fork is almost perfect, has the length I want + lowrider rack mounts, and it's reasonably cheap. Only problem is the takes a 27.0 headset race. I just put a nice cane creek 100 headset on the bike that uses a 26.4 race, and dont want to swap that out for a cheepie caged bearing lower headset (only 27.0, 1" headsets I can find).
So, should I have the cane creek 26.4 bearing race machined to fit the fork, or should I have the 27.0 fork machined to fit the race?
Also, anyone in frame builder land wanna take on this project for me?
Thanks guys, and happy new year!
