Does anyone know what these type of angled headset bearings are called and how to work out the bearing spec. I am trying to source some replacements.

Is it an Orbit MXII FSA headset by chance or other FSA? if so UKBIKESTORE has them but £10 each IIRC - often cheaper to get a new headset!

Erm sorry tango but I think your 45x45 is wrong - I certainly have an Orbit headset with 36 degree contact bearings!

Unless you can buy them direct from TH Industies direct I think you will have to get them though a named supplier i.e. FSA/Cane Creek?
