Can my kinesis maxlight frame be modified to use tapered forks by changing the heatset? Its 7 years old frame so standard from 7 years ago.
There was no single standard even 7 years ago. If it has a straight 44mm headtube it can be done.
Depends on what headtube it has. If it's the old 1 1/8th standard with external cups pressed into the frame, then no. If it has integral cups that are pressed into the frame with only a little bit exposed, then it's possible to fit a different bottom cup that will fit tapered forks.
Can't guarantee that though, headsets are complicated things.
