I can't seem to find a stockist of replacement cartridge bearings for this headset.
Not sure about Chainreaction as they don't list the sizes, just the codes like S6/S8/ZS6/IS6 but I don't know the code. My headset has VP-A56AC written on it, means little to me.

The bearings are dia 39 x 6.5 x 45 it looks like it says P04 on the race, I have seen MH-P04 bearings (that seem suitable) on some chinese sites but minimum order 100 pieces.

has anyone managed to replace these? or can anyone offer any help?

Thanks.

just ordered a new Cane Creek S3 from CRC, at £23 it seemed less hassle. Cheers anyway.
