Hi all, i have a Carrera fury 09 and recently pulled it out of the shed and found it the headset seized up (put it away wet and muddy) just wondered if any body knows if this headset would fit? ive heard he fury has a semi-integrated headset btw.

Thanks

    Can't you just service it?

    I've seen some nasty headsets covered in all kinds of horrid stuff and a bit of tlc and they are fine. After all it is only a headset

    no i'm pretty sure it was beyond repair, in the bin now anyway.

    Yes it will fit, but it's expensive for what you get, Superstar do a decent lightweight cartridge jobby for £20, or I could do you a removed OE one in good condition for £5!

    Chunkers original headset is a semi-cartridge bearing so harder to service, although my 2006 one is still going strong.
