    Hello, some help needed please.

    I need to replace headset brearings in a FSA Orbit headset that is standard with a 2010 Boardman Team Carbon road bike.

    Apparently it is a standard 1-1/8 inch 45 degrees x 45 degrees top and 1.5 inch 36 degrees x 45 degrees bottom. Does this make sense and where should I go to get the replacements?

    Failing that, if I need to replace the whole headset what is recommended?

    You could probably use the bearings from this Ribble headset. Just send them an email maybe and give all the dimensions of the bearings including the height. You don't want your stack height affected. Failing this, you LBS is your best bet.
