(assuming you're referring to forks)

Now you're gonna get a bunch of answers like "why would you want to do that?".

One way is to use a 1" headset with shims that fit the 1-1/8" headtube. The shims have a lip that will show inbetween the end of the headtube and the headset cup though (which can look not so good sometimes).

Do they make a devolution for 1-1/8" to 1" threaded? The only ones I see on the website are threadless.

Already have a Chris King headset?
Because Chris King headsets share the same cups, a conversion kit is available to transform your current King headset into a Devolution™. We even offer kits to convert a Devolution™ to a NoThreadSet™, a 2Nut™, or a GripNut™.

Well, that's pretty damn cool. They mention fitting 1 1/8" forks
on a 1 1/4" evolution frame. What is that? Never heard of 1 1/4".

I did it on my old Redline FS860 when I made a retro RL20-II out of it. I used cups from a Walgoose and scrounged the rest from the parts bin.
