Tapered Fork, Straight Frame

randoneer

As per the title, I think my newly acquired 2010 Rockshox Tora SL are tapered. My 07 Hardrock is a straight 1 1/8th. I've read how you can fit them using an adaptor or traditional external 1.5" bottom cup.
I appreciate it's not ideal, but is this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/nuke ... -prod92344 the part I need to make it work?
Cheers.

is the HR internal or external headset?

You are the wrong way around. That reducer is to fit a straight steerer into a tapered frame.

Not sure whether it is internal or external - still all a bit new to me.
Will check the links posted, thanks very much for the guidance

well if external your fork will not fit.

if internal you will have to spend a bit on a suitable headset to get it to work. circa 100.

Ahh OK. If they don't fit my other frame, they'll be back up on the for sale forum - looks like the easiest way. Thanks once again Nick.

just looked on Speshs webby and it shows standard external headset so the fork will not fit.
