Head set sizing?

RobFowl

Quick one but anyone know which headset I can buy for my Kuota Korsa, present one buggered and its an 1 1/8 integrated.
Genuinely confused by all the options and don't want to waste money.
Could go to lbs but quick like messing about with bikes and this sort of thing I enjoy doing...

Pop them out and read what's on them.

That's how I figured out which ones I needed for my trek madone

Unless Kuota do their own size it probably is 1 1/8 BUT you will need to take them out to be sure!

If it's just the bearings that you want, I think this will do the job:

Make sure to measure outside diameter of top bearing as well .I have been caught out with my headset ,no sizes stamped on bearings and I took it for granted it was the common 41 .8 size but when I got bearing from LBS found out its 41 mm diameter

Its not just the bearings, not happy with alpina head set and open race bearing at bottom and these jut rusted too quickly.

Not really looking to be told the measure or read the existing ones.
Wanted to know if anyone knows which actual headset (ideally FSA) I can get....

Kuota simply specify 1 1/8 integrated but don't say Cane Creek Standard, Campy Standard, or TH standard for eg

Well if you tell us what size bearings you need maybe someone would be better placed to tell you an exact product.

If I knew that I wouldn't be asking !

I had hoped someone would have more details on the frame and specs. Looks like lbs it is
