[QUOTE="Lutz, post: 761102, member: 25116"] I ended up just using 0.030" worth of shim stock to make the KX125 top clamp fit the KDX stem. However, the stems and top clamps are not tapered - I got that impression of the top clamps had tapered holes at first too, but that's not actually the case. I've got both setups sitting here with me and I checked them out again to be sure. If you think about it, making these holes/shafts tapered would be counter-productive. The clamp has to sit right on top of the bearing adjustment nut, which in turn must move up and down from bike to bike to make up for part tolerances. If there was a taper, the clamp would only get tight if it bottomed on the taper, and would get increasingly loose as the top clamp moves up on the stem. Anyway, IF there is any taper, it isn't significant, so a straight walled spacer will work, as will a bit of shim stock. Good luck with your swap. If you have a KX wheel, it should be very easy to do. I'm starting to wish I had a KX wheel - if I did, my project would be basically done now. [/QUOTE]
