    Can anyone help?

    My headset is running rough and on dismantling the lower race is shagged.

    The code on the bearing is Cane Creek HSS20130 STEEL.

    I usually buy my bearings from here but cant find them!

    Am I being dumb!!??

    The bearing is 41mm in diameter with a 30mm bore and 7mm thick. It has a 45 degree bottom edge.

    Can anyone help in finding me a replacement? Here's hoping

    Cheers

    AWCycles in Reading usually stock them. Albeit bearings from bike shops work out more expensive than those picked up at bearing suppliers.

    you can get S-3 bearings here (they're 'steel')

    i'm pretty sure they're the same size as S-8 bearings, which you can get here (they're stainless steel)

    if your bearings died from rust, it might be worth getting the stainless ones, but if they just got a bit gritty, stainless won't help, get the standard cheaper ones.

    41.8 x 30 x 7 45degree is the campag standard – I think they're the same bearings as BMX headsets.

    Perfect. Thanks ahwiles.

    Didn't think to check the obvious presuming a bearing supplier would be cheaper.
