[#1715875]

I need a replacement pair of headset bearings, the old ones are labelled TANGE SEIKI 4T5-5 BEARING which I'm pretty sure means they are campagnolo standard (45 degree upper and lower) rather than the more common 36/45 degree ones. However I can't find anywhere with any of these in stock.

Does anyone know where I could get a set of these?

Thanks for the links, bizarrely I popped in to my LBS this morning, they had FSA campy compatible 45/45 headset bearings, but they had a larger outside diameter (by about 1mm) and much larger chamfers. So I now have no idea at all what I need as replacements.

In the end I've ordered a pair of these:

They look about right in the picture.... just have to wait and see when they turn up.
