Right I thought I had a 1.5 headset on my bike but thought I'd contact the importer who says it is
The headset size is 1 1/8th intergraded press fit style.
where as the brand say its a
Head tube is 1 1/8"
I have a FSA impact which is apparently integrated from a old bike. On the side of the bearings it says TH industries 1 1/8" 45x45 no.8b ACB compatible w/campy but this does not fit.
The headtube measures 44mm so what do I need would prefer FSA but hope or even CK will have a look at. So what do I need, examples welcome.
Why your current one doesn't fit

No neither of those headsets will fit, i already have the impact and the other is also campag and at over a ton a bit dear.

Tails my post above is saying WHY your impact won't fit...
the impact is designed to "[b]only fit with Campag spec integrated frames[/b]"
Take the frame to a shop and pay full price, its the only way if you dont know, i had trouble when building my wifes bike a while back and bought and FSA 45mm integrated from the net, but it turned out I needed a semi intergrated, one of my LBS had one at a not unreasonable £20 that got me out of shtuck when I was building it up.
i thought thats what you were saying fozzybear but thought i'd make it clear that does not fit as the other poster linked to a similar headset. You got a lot more results from crc then me, maybe a spelt a word wrong. thanks
ok 🙂 personally look at those new cane creek 100/110 versions, they are a lot of money but use CK bearings and a better sealing.
I hope the 110 has different bearings as I've got a cane creek is8 and have found the lower bearing sealing to be a bit rubbish
