My Ridley Cross Headset 2010 model is basically history! I've been having some real problems finding the proper FSA headset....headsets are a real pain these days.

below is the required headset that I can only find in the US! Anyone know where a good dealer of FSA RIdley headsets would be?

Colour Black
Material AL-7075
Steerer Tube 1 1/8" to 1.5" Tapered
Crown Race 39.7
Stack Height 23mm
Bearing Type ACB/Industrial
Headset Type Internal Upper 12mm Deep, 44mm OD; Integrated Lower 45 Degree, 52mm OD (Zero Stack)
Headsets featuring a mixture of internal cups and integrated bearings, like those used on Ridley's X-Night, X-Fire and X-Ride

    All you need to do is swap out the cartridge bearings.

    But if you want to change the whole headset then many sites do mix and match on the uppers and lowers.

    It does not have to be FSA.

    I'll have a look around, thanks. Crane Creek don't seem to have an Upper Cup 44mm, surprised.
