    Before the edit time runs out change the subject heading for this thread to "Cannondale Prophet headset help" or similar…should get you more help as its not that regular a headset

    Try the FSA tech pages…

    The bearings from an fsa orbit z fit – the bottom cup is not used though – cannondale use their own reducer cup. Usually cheaper to buy the orbit z headset than just the bearings. Bear in mind that they are marginally different in shape.
