Hi

I confess to knowing nothing about integrated or semi integrated headsets.

Does anyone know what I need to buy in the way of replacement bearings for this frame. LBS says they will cost about £30 from the distributor, but surely all I need is a couple of cartridge bearings no?

Hi, my Whyte 19 had a normal 1 1/8th headset…it depends what type/make you have, it maybe cheaper to replace everything !

As Micktvr says- it should be a normal 1 1/8th external type. I could be wrong but I’d be surprised. Mine came with Cane Creek. Your’s could be different. A photo would help more than a thousand words!

#Edit – assumining its alu – I’ve no idea whatsoever about carbon

£30 is about right for headset bearings, they are bit differnt to normal cartridge bearings as they got a “angle” on the inside and outside of the bearing race and of course to make it easy there are diff angles for dif headsets out there!

Ok cheers, i’m pretty sure it’s integrated, it came with the frame when I bought it (2010 ally one). I’ll try eng get a photo up tomorrow.
