Evening,

I've recently stripped my iron horse sunday team down for a custome spray job. Unfortunatley I wrecked a bearing in the headset during removal:

Orbit IS-2 With E-Thirteen Reducer Cup

on the bearing casing it reads : th industries 1-1/8"
ACB 36x45 873#

Will any 1/18" bearing do? e.g:

Thanks for any help!

Clint.

    th industries 1-1/8" ACB 36x45 873 is what you need.

    is the link for a 873 bearing? if not then youi may find it it too tall or too short.

    an 872 is not the same as a 873.

    all the dimensions can be found in the FAS headset book.

    Ooops... forgot to add the link:

    pretty sure that this should do it... pearce cycles has it down as fitting the e13 recuder cup.
