Drop them down the steerer tube. It's a two minute job - 3 screws.If youn want to take them right off, two more screws to separate them from the caliper.

You can use straight or tapered forks if you have tapered now. It just means getting the right headset. Many mid-priced modern bikes have the tapered head tube, but use straight steerers to save money and give the illusion that the steerer is taperd, like on a more expensive one. Only dropping the forks will tell you which you have, not that it makes a difference.

Yes as vfr has said drop the forks to double check, the specs are XCM 29 inch & are usually 1.1/8 straight steerer.
