    My headset on my Ridley excalibur needs replaced (bearings very rusty and noisy :o).
    I'm having a bit of trouble finding some where that stocks integrated headsets that fit. Its a 1 1/8 steerer and 1.5 fork.
    Anyone know where I can get them??

    CRC only has ATB ones in that size and I'm not sure if they will do

    At present it has an FSA one.

    You may need to replace the bearings as opposed to the whole headset. Which type of headset is it, integrated, semi-integrated? If it is difficult to determine, it might just be less hassle to take it into a good bike shop

    It's integrated. No problem doing the job but sourcing the parts is the issue !
    Even my LBS which is a Ridley dealership can't get them.

    Are they sealed bearing units? I had trouble recently with mine and had to take to dublin to source. What I needed in the end was 1 1/8 36/45 degree bearings, my headset is Cane Creek but the headset bearings from the FSA Orbit Z were compatible. You should give them a check.
