Just bought some dual crown forks with a 1" steerer but my frame is 1.5", ive looked everywhere for the right shims but can't find any is using two sets of shims too risky? Cheers

    You can use a hope pick and mix headset (I think), you have to buy top and bottom cups seperately though.

    Chances are anything dual crown with a 1" steerer is actually rubbish, or really old, so I would send them back and get the right forks.
