Replacement "loose" headset bearings

I have a Boardman Comp 2010 and in a bit of a pickle regarding finding replacement bearings.

It uses loose bearings (ie. not a sealed unit) and they sit on a "shelf" that is integrated into the frame.

Looking to replace as they are pretty tired and I think I've lost some of them along the way. Planning on a service soon so was going to strip down then.

Can anyone point me in the direction of anywhere that sells loose bearings please, I've had a quick google search but couldn't come up with anything relevant.

Cheers

    Bike shop or Halfords if you need them quickly. Take a couple so they can measure them.

    If in no hurry, SJS Cycles do packs of bearings. Just put some Shimano ones in my hubs.

    As easy as that, haha.

    Cheers, no desperate rush - still have a few bits to get together for the spring service.

    Might be worth being 100% sure they are loose bearings. Headset cartridge bearings can come apart when you drop the fork, the ones on my Tarmac did recently and I got a replacement cartridge from JE James Cycles.
