Evening
My Wet bike is EM2 tubing Viner and it come with a IS Integrated headset.
The cone on the headset is rather huge and I thought it would be a simple process to get a Zero Stack Aheadset fitted.
So of I went to my LBS who advised it was a strange cup size and it was going to be hard to find replacement.
Almost a month later Iam still confused and still don't have a headset.
The bearings I took out have Ritchey retainer 41.8 x 30.5 and 45 degree x 45 degree written on them and the cone is stamped with Viner badge
I was hoping the above would mean something to someone
Many Thanks

Yup, it's a standard 45x45 pattern IS headset bearing - check out the FSA website for details of the different IS headsets. The other common type is the Cane Creek pattern which are the same dimensions but with 36x45 degree chamfers. From memory it's an Orbit CE or CF, as I have one on one of my bikes and checked the box in the garage - but the label's been removed! The other number is type 8B.0
