This is the headset I have HEADSET:ย ย  FSA Orbit C-40-ACB, 1.5" to 1 1/8"

But if I wanted to replace it what would I need, I.e integrated/conventional etc etc.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You may have to help us with a picture or details of the bike. A quick google does not give us a clue!!

It doesn't just want to know, so I have the knowledge for future reference.

Quite happy with the bike at present, don't need to change anything, just so I know as its one of those areas that once it goes I will buy the wrong one as I'm a div.

I just googled it and loads of links came up.

Looks like it is an integrated for tapered headtubes and steerers. ie doesnt have any cups that press into the frame as the bearings sit directly in the frame.

You can confirm this by dropping the fork out and seeing if it has a tapered steerer and checking how the bearings are fitted.
