Current headset is 49/28.6 49/30 external cup

Bottom bearing is dead! Looking for a replacement but turning up nothing, boxxers are running a 1 1/8"straight steerer

Any solutions?

Any old 1.5 bottom cup with a reducer crown race in the boxxers?

I'd have thought 49/30 would be zero stack rather than external cup, 49/40 EC is readily available, a seperate crown reducer like the Hope one or a brand that does a crown option for tapered or straight steerer with the same headset. Like
Superstarcomponents or Nukeproof

you just need to make sure the angle of the crown race matches the angle of the bearings - some are 30deg some are 45
