I have a new bike with the 1.5 inch headset. The Manitou Travis fork is a single crown. I'm buying a dual crown Manitou Travis fork, but the dual crown is made with a 1 and 1/8 inch steer tube.
In order to use the dual crown fork, I'm going to have to buy a different headset and use something I keep hearing as to spacers to adapt the fork to the 1.5 inch frame opening.
Will the 1 and 1/8th fork work well in the 1.5 hole with these spacers or will it not be stable for some reason?
Manitou makes the Travis in a 1 and 1/8. There is no word as to whether they intend to make the 2008 Travis in a 1.5 steer tube. So fare I have heard no. In fact the fork won't be available till after January some time.
Any input?
