No, this specific model is designed for a 30mm crown race, which corresponds to a straight 1 1/8-inch steerer tube. It will not fit a tapered steerer tube.

Yes, installing this headset requires a standard headset press to seat the cup into the frame and a crown race setter to install the race onto your fork. If you are not comfortable with these tools, a local bike shop can handle the installation quickly.
