[Closed] What bearing alternative?

[url= http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/402/160_1651/fsa-th-070-mr128-15-acb-45-x-45-headset-bearing.html ]52mm 45x45[/url] look kinda along the right lines... do you know the [url= http://thebearinghub.com/headset-bearing-models?field_bearing_od_value_selective=52.0mm&field_bearing_id_value_selective=All&field_bearing_thickness_value_selective=All&field_internal_angle_value_selective=45%2BDegrees&field_external_angle_value_selective=45%2BDegrees&field_material_value_selective=All ]internal diameter and thickness?[/url]

No idea.. No digi caliper here 🙁

But that (the link i posted) is the exact bearing to be replaced

then pop down to Lidl/aldi next time they've got em cheap!
Not a lot of info on that pearce cycles link though.. I had to search round to find that they're 45x45 angle wise but as per the other link thickness is the only figure you need to find out (all have a 40mm internal diameter), get a ruler on the go?

Hope this helps.

Ahhh sorry, you'd need to make the decision what the measurement is, as I'm not deciding it for you from a dodgy photo 😉 .. it the 2nd photo that the one you need the measurement from (height)

Take it to a bearing shop and see what they have.

Ended up getting another cane creek bearing one again, but still looking for alternative bearing that would fit. Got you zippy 😛 ..and 2nd photo is height

@mikewsmith .. There is a bearing shop?

yep, pop it into google for where you live, probably on a trading estate or something

You may find the only bearing available is the genuine cane creek one. I had the same problem with mine.A couple of bearing suppliers said they couldn't get them and they are likely to be exclusive to the headset manufacture. It's the chamfer that is the non standard bit I believe.
I'll be happy to be proved wrong though as I could do with some new ones for mine again.
