It does not have to be tapered--as I could covert my headset.
Anyway, I am looking for a shock like my old Marzocchi ETA/ECC that allowed you to lock the fork down in the compressed position. I have a Fox F32 120mm on my Santa Cruz Nickel and I don't like climbing with it locked out in the up position. The front tire is just too loose on the slippery stuff.
Here is the hard part--it has to be regular old-school quick release.
