[Closed] 1.5 bearing for a headset..

Seemingly nigh on impossible to find one, it's actually from a Boardman road bike, and the bottom bearing (the 1.5" part) needs replacing.

Any idea where I could get hold of one? I've already tried numerous bearing suppliers.

Many thanks in advance!

Paddy

You should be able to find one that fits by measuring the head tube .
Just click past the bike choice bit and put in the sizes.
Or maybe send a mail to [url= http://www.boardmanbikes.com/ ]Boardman[/url]

Arent they FSA headsets?

they usually have a number on the bearing itself, then just try the various places like

Indeed, FSA branding at least. If only I could read the full number (faded and oxidized..) I can just about make out 1.5" ACB 36 x 45 78*****...unreadable.

Cheers for the help though guys, failing the UK I can get them quite readily from the states! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FSA-Industrial-1-5-Headset-Bearing-90d-Shoulder-MR069-/260797535101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb8be937d

Doesnt look like the right one but gives you an idea on the numbers: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=61&products_id=439

CRC normally have bearings or just pop down to your local bearing supplier or order one from your LBS.

No where (even bearing suppliers) had these in stock apart from Swinnertons on the chase! I believe they are the same as those in Orange headtubes...

Cheers all
