Hi

I am currently rebuilding my bike (Boardman Team) and think i need to replace the headset. I currently have the stock FSA headset. Does anyone know if this one will fit as a direct replacement?

Thanks in advance.

    I'll answer myself!! it's not the right one.
    The Boardman has a tapered head tube. I've removed the bearings and the lower one has info printed on it so i can get that easy enough. The top bearing however is plain/ blank. I'd really appreciate any advice or info anyone can give me regarding what size bearing I need. If it helps the lower bearing is an FSA mr110. 45 x 36.

    Ring up any branch of Halfords and they can look it up on their system as long as you know which year's model it is.

    Thanks for the response.
    Bloke in my local branch pointed me towards a headset which I know wouldn't fit, sorted now thanks to some calipers and google!
