So I ordered 36*45 for my headset that turns out to be 36*36.

What is the difference?

Anyone know where to source 36*36 bearings from?

Ta

in the 36×45 the top edge is 45 degrees and the inside edge is 36.

36×36 is 36 on both edges.

I only know where to get the one you ordered. What headset is it?

Its an FSA orbit cx although I found my Orbit XLII is the same.

It simply wont work I presume?

I think CRC has bearings for the XL2..

hang on..

there you go..

ignore that. Misread which way round you wanted it. Wiggle had the XLII bearings cheaper than that last time I got some. But the SS link shows how much they should be!

You can buy an entire FSA orbit headset for the price of 2 of their replacement bearings.
