Can anyone point me in the correct direction for a headset for my Anthem X2 2009 please

Here's a pic of the stock FSA

Is there a Cane creek headset? i was under the impression that the ZS3 fitted, but appears to be discontinued..?

Maybe this one?

I am fairly certain that those bikes use integrated headsets so you just need to get new bearings, assuming there is not some more significant damage. Your local Giant dealer will probably have these. A stock 1.125" 45degree bearing should do the trick.

All I really need is the lower part to put on my new fork steerer..
Will probably damage the old one trying to remove it...

But to be honest the lower seals aren't to good on the stock fsa headset, they let plenty of dirt in..

Hope semi integrated is your other option.

I think the 2009 Anthem X is the same as my 2010 Trance X, which uses the Zero Stack Standard (known by Cane Creek as ZS44), so both of those headsets should fit.

Is it possible to fit a Hope H bottom cup to the 2009/10 anthem so you can fit a tapered fork?

Thanks for the reply's...
Out of the 3 mentioned above, which one would people recommend.?
I've always liked the cane creek headsets as the one I put on my old orange seemed bullet proof.

I might have a spare bearing you can have, ordered the wrong one by mistake/stupidity.

Will this one also fit? If so whats the difference between the 10 and 40 series?
Liking the look of the tall version, as it will look better than the cheap looking stock conical spacer..
