Not having much luck searching for replacement bearings for fsa headset on my bike. Any one tell me where to find replacements or recommend new. LBS offered me Chris king one. LOT of money. Bike cost me a lot so would spend the money on a hope one, or can I get good quality for less than £70? Looking for longevity and ease of replacement
Very frustrating. Any helpfull advice greatly appreciated

Usually the bottom one that goes first, we normally replace it with a Hope lower assembly which seems to last a lot longer.(and spares will be more readily available, if ever needed).

What about just replacing bearings - what sizes would they be?

i was half expecting this to be a thread demanding money back or a new frame because the headset needed replacing on a 2 year old bike.
