    I have a spare CK upper cup which i plan to use upside down as a lower cup but am lacking a spare C.K. crown race, so can i bodge it by using a Cane Creek crown race intended for 36'/45' bearings???

    Campagnolo Standard: 45/45.
    Cane Creek Standard: 36/45.
    FSA Standard: 36/36.

    SO WHAT STANDARD ARE C.K.?

    cheers

    It looks suspiciously like a 45 degress chamfer on the inner race-it is quite shallow tho.The bearings are proprietary tho I think.There are FAR more different headset bearing sizes then that!!!

    They are proprietry and the angle of bearing contact is not nec the same as the angle at the crown race.
