I was in my LBS yesterday inquiring about getting the headset bearings replaced on my 6-7yr old Paris FP Carbon. After some googling I figured it was a bit beyond my technical abilities as some specialist tools are required to both remove and replace these pressfit bearings (thanks Pinarello).

The man in the LBS says he does not have any distribution contacts for ordering Pinarello parts and that If I could source the bearings myself, he'd do the work for me. I've read that Pinarello use proprietary bearings, being a tapered tube, but another thread suggests the sizes are standard and readily available from any bearing supplier: bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12894938&p=18036687

Has anyone experience on doing this and could point me to a link for ordering the correct size bearings or the bearing numbers I need?

Thanks,
Bren
