I've a Wilier GTR and need to replace the headset. I am fairly sure its a FSA Orbit C-33 ACB Headset (No.44E), but when i come to the buying options, I have the choice between a 9mm or 15mm top cap. What is the top cap referred to [url= https://www.evanscycles.com/fsa-orbit-c-33-tapered-headset-EV207745?country=GB&currency=GBP&esvt=1050-GOUKE306512&esvq=&esvadt=999999-0-33924-1&esvcrea=61236008096&esvplace=&esvd=c&esvo=EV207745-15-BLK&esvaid=50080&gclid=CIKU_4jXw8sCFcsp0wodZhYJaA ]here[/url] please?

I've looked at the FSA guide [url= http://www.fullspeedahead.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Headset_Installation-Instructions.pdf ]here[/url] and know it is an integrated type headset. Is it simply the stem cap through which the preload screw goes?

It's the conical bit that sits below the headset spaceres / stem.

So the diameter is relating to the steerer?

It's the height of the spacer (the bit with FSA in big bold letters), I didn't even bother to change it, just kept the old one.
