Looking for new bearings for my FSA headset in a carbon Whyte M109C. Anyone know where I can get some, or start hunting?
ATB Sales advise they are:
Lower, OD 51.8mm Depth 8mm. 36 x 45 deg contact. This is a standard 1.5” semi integrated size.
Upper, 42mm OD, Depth 7mm, 36 x 45 deg contact. This is 1 mm larger in diameter than the semi integrated type. It is listed as a FSA No42 headset.

Your Google fu is weak, or are you just looking parts for The Headset?
Thats a headset. He wants bearings.
I'm having same issue with my FSA headset. Merlin Cycles seems like they stock most bearing options, but I'm still just toying with the idea of replacing it with a Hope or similar.
Bearings only, as the races are part of the frame.
Is there not a number printed on the bearing itself?
No, nothing on the bearing itself.
Bottom one is a th073 which seems pretty common.
P08H7K might be your top bearing.
Superstar Type 4 IIRC for the bototm one around £8. Not sure on the top one.
Give this guy a ring, he is very helpful. Sorted us out in the past and quick delivery

There's your lower. I'm not going to do the upper for you. That's left as an exercise for the reader, as they say.
They've not given you the correct upper bearing spec - it's a 45 x 45... 41.8 x 7mm
but anyway, this is your headset:-
eg. upper:-
eg. lower:-
Or, I just buy these as replacements for No. 42 headsets. They're brilliant quality, as good if not better than the original FSA units, and the price of just one UK sourced replacement bearing.

Simply Bearings. Put in the (correct) numbers. Out comes the results. Cheap as chips, turns up next day.

Scratch that then. Garbage in, garbage out...
