Hi guys, noticed my steering is nice and notchy on the above bike, the bearings seem like a pig to get hold of and really i think i'd rather just upgrade to a different headset whilst i on.

Firslty does anyone know where i can source original bearings for this headset cheaply online?

If not can anyone recommend a good headset that will fit the bike?

cheers guys!

    Find the bearing numbers and google - plenty of online bearing shops.
    Otherwise FSA make a selection. Any of their sealed bearing headsets are good.

    Seems like this may be the headset fitted FSA NO.57E, E-2
    Zero stack internal headset. So a standard headset will not fit.
    Cane Creek, Hope etc make them.
