Just picked up a 2002 complete front end. (bars, levers, triples, forks, wheel, brakes) I checked allballs fork conversion chart and both use the exact same size neck bearings. My question, other than the performance upgrade is there any reason that I have to change the bearings to tapered? I've measured both neck tubes and there is maybe a 1/4" difference between them. With a spacer, or old bearing race I can accommodate for this. Anyone see any other obvious reasons why I can't just reuse the original bearings?
