I've got a mates T5 to service and it needs a headset however it appears to be an odd size. It' s semi integrated but the outside diameter of the cups seems to be 41mm. Unfortunately I don't have calipers to accurately measure it. The only headset I can find that may fit is the FSA 11 however that seems to be Giant specific.
Has anyone here who has changed the headset on a T5 point me in the right direction ?

    Decathlon will sell you a replacement for £8 or so.

    Was hoping for something a bit better quality than the OE . Just checked the website and they don't have the correct one listed. I'll call into the shop tomorrow , it's only 10 min from my house. It appears to be staffed by children so I'll wait and see...

    Well that was a waste of time. I went to Decathlon Braehead , Renfrew and spoke to a guy building a bike. He had never had to replace a headset and his only assistance was to show me the headsets they had for sale. A choice of a threaded or an external cup . Neither suitable and no help whatsoever.

    That's poor. I went to one of the fellas in the workshop nd he was spot on.
