I can't find the definitive answer so if you'll forgive me.......

I have a frame with a 1 1/8" head tube (ID something like 33.8mm)
For now I would like to use some 1" threaded forks that are gathering
dust. What's the best sensibly priced conversion that uses a threaded
headset to get my 12 year old out and about?

Many thanks

Charles Ping

Correct, but make sure the steerer is long enough and has sufficient
thread before splashing out. A good bike shop can cut extra thread if
needed, but it will cost. If the fork needs work, price up a 1 1/8"
carbon fork off eBay - normally about £60.
