Hi got an tapered head tube 11/8 top to 1.5 bottom, was wondering if I get a 11/8 fork can I still use my bottom 1.5 headset and get a crown race that go's on the 11/8 fork so it fits the in the 1.5?
Instead of replacing the bottom headset

Yeah you can run a straight 1 1/8 steerer on a tapered headset just need a lower reducer cup.
