Probably a simple one...
I've got a 2013 Defy 4 and the lower bearing is shot. I've found them online for about £30, I'll pop to the Giant store in town later to see what they can do. Before I do, is there a better/cheaper option?
It's nominally an FSA headset, however the lower race is what I presume is 'fully integrated' - i.e. crown race part of the forks, cartridge slips into frame.
Lower race marked as '46.9*7*45', which I guess means 46.9 mm OD, 7mm thick, 45 degree seat?
Also stamped with PT-R424
Ta!

Hmm, 'Edge Sports' seem to do one that will fit for a tenner.

Anyone used these guys before? Any good? I'm happy to spend more if these are likely to fall apart after 10 rides.
