So I ordered 36*45 for my headset that turns out to be 36*36.

What is the difference?

Anyone know where to source 36*36 bearings from?

in the 36x45 the top edge is 45 degrees and the inside edge is 36.

36x36 is 36 on both edges.

I only know where to get the one you ordered. What headset is it?

Its an FSA orbit cx although I found my Orbit XLII is the same.

It simply wont work I presume?

ignore that. Misread which way round you wanted it. Wiggle had the XLII bearings cheaper than that last time I got some. But the SS link shows how much they should be!

You can buy an entire FSA orbit headset for the price of 2 of their replacement bearings.
