Threaded To Threadless Headset/Fork Upgrade On Vintage Road Bike

I convert my 1990 Trek 1000 from a 1 inch threaded fork/headset to a threadless setup with a carbon fiber composite fork. The most common threaded forks have 1 inch steerer tubes. So you are limited when converting them to threadless to use a threadless fork with a 1" steerer. A fork with a 1-1/8" streerer just won't work in a head tube made for a 1" steerer in most cases. In this video, I actually use threaded fork with a long steerer, but I install is with a threadless headset. I would have used a true 1" threadless fork, but they are not easy find for a decent price and I wanted to go with carbon fiber. I installed a 1 1/8" stem with a shim.
Be aware that some bikes have headtubes with weird dimensions. Like old Schwinns have threaded forks with 1" steerers, but the head tube is an odd size so is not a good candidate for threadless conversion.
