    I think the difference is in the angle of the races. Anyway, I think they are not interchangeable. Read what yours say.

    Had this problem last year for my stumpy. No numbers on the old bearings so had to go into my local spesh dealer and they orderd some for me from specialized. When they sent the new ones there was no numbers on them either so can't tell you what which you need unfortunatley. Waste of time e-mailing specialized too, as they replied saying "They are a campy style drop in cartridge bearing", which i new anyway. Not 100% but think you need the 36x45 degree bearings. Sorry i can't be anymore help.
