Got one of the paint seconds carbon 456. Now desperately seeking for a nice fork. Had some great offers, but all 1 1/8", not tapered.
Let's face the truth, the headtube of the c456 is not the nicest. Hope that looks bit better with a tapered fork. Or shouldn't I bother?

Doesn't make the slightest difference to the look (Having done both) to be honest, but if you've got a 16in on with an On One headset, I'd read this first if I were you....

I'll be checking with O-O if they have sorted the solution when I get the chance........

Got an 18", so that shouldn't matter, does it?

Check the headtube length. If it's the same as mine I'd hang fire for a bit if you're planning on using Revelations...... It's differences in the length of the steerer taper that's causing problems. There's no spec for it so they're all different!
