I’ve now got a spare rockshox recon fork with a tapered steerer surplus to requirements. My wife has a rarely used one of these:

i’m guessing it has a straight steerer but the frame has some flair at the bottom of the headtube. I’m wondering if i can shoehorn my spare fork onto it and if so how do i work out what headset bits i need?

She doesnt use it enough to warrant buying a nicer mtb but would appreciate a “proper” fork that works on the occasions she does potle offroad.

thanks in advance!

Looks like its got a 44ID head tube from the pic (my mrs had a similar carrera of the same vintage) so you should be good provided you get the right headset.

That should do the job, 44 internal diameter to fit tapered steerer fork 🙂

Brilliant! Thank you!!
