Right, I have a Giant defy frame and recently bought some Planet X forks with a 1-1/8 steerer. The old forks were tapered so worked fine. The frame has a FSA No.44e fully integrated headset (I think), 1-1/8 bearings at the top and 1-1/4 bearings at the bottom.
I know there are reducer crown races out there for 1-1/2 to 1-1/8th, anyone got any idea of one for 1-1/4 to 1-1/8? Maybe a crown race with inner diameter of 1-1/8 and outer diameter of 1-1/4? I know problem solvers make some shims for this exact thing but I don't think they work with fully integrated headsets?
OR is there some sort of shim that can slide over the steerer to make the crown race for 1-1/4 fit?

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
