Before the edit time runs out change the subject heading for this thread to "Cannondale Prophet headset help" or similar...should get you more help as its not that regular a headset

Try the FSA tech pages...

The bearings from an fsa orbit z fit - the bottom cup is not used though - cannondale use their own reducer cup. Usually cheaper to buy the orbit z headset than just the bearings. Bear in mind that they are marginally different in shape.
