    well as it is a
    1 1/8" threadless, Campy spec integrated sealed cartridge bearing
    you just need the bearings.
    so what ever you want.

  • Hi, thanks for the reply, what im missing is the bottom cup of the headset and ive been told that its hard just getting the bottom peice so i was going to buy a new complete headset. but not sure what to buy. i know its a 1 1/8 threadless cane creek on there. so could i just buy any type that size complete with bearing and spacers and fit it instead?. ( as long as its 1 1/8 threadless) like a hope or chris king?.

    Err if the info provided by you and by Spesh´s webby is correct you should not need ant cups as it is integrated (CK do not do one) Hope do but i dont think it uses the Campy bearing angles.

    Pictures of both top and bottom of the head tube?

    sure but all you need is one bearing from what you say Oh and a crown race.
