      my bike has a 1 1/8 fork and the fork I am looking at is tapered. Is there an adapter to put a tapered fork in a straight head tube?

      You can put a straight in a tapered, but not a tapered in a straight.

      Sorry to say, but it’s not going to happen.

      Check out pink bike for great straight headtube forks cheap and for 26ers which I assume you own

      I feel your pain on this.  I have a bike with a straight steerer that I’d like replace the fork on.  The choices have gotten limited.  You might check on Ebay or Craigslist for a used decent fork.  My problem there is I’m 6’4″ and its extremely hard to find a used fork that hasn’t had the steerer cut down.  If you’re not as tall, you can find decent options going that route.  With a used fork, you can always spend a little and get it rebuilt.
