    not normally.

    you are going to have to find a 1 1/8th internal headset fitting to 1.5 external headset. there are one or two out there.

    and be aware
    Item discontinued - no longer available to purchase.

    is there a chance it will fit?

    I think this is what you need, it enables you to fit a 1.5" steereer in a 44mm headtube

    but that does depend on the insertion depth as the internal standard does not normally have more than 10mm.

    Why not buy a fork that fits the frame? Fitting an external headset will screw with the goemetry.

    Hardtail freeride type of frame.. Somthing like the hornet.. That works with the 1.5" steerer
