Scott Scale 60 Headset bearing shattered

eddzzz

Hi Guys,

Firstly thank you for your time and advice. I'd like some advice on how I would repair my Scott Scale 60 headset bearings as one of them has recently shattered and caused a bit of damage to the tube, deep scratches on the actual tube and even more where the ballbearings sat. The metalwork inside the frame all looks smooth and intact. (images below). Would it be as simple as buying new headset bearings and putting it back together?








Thanks,

Eddzzz

Yes. Some scratches on the steerer won't be a problem.

I wouldn't buy just new bearings but a full headset and replace the cup and races as well.

Can't tell from the pictures.

looks like 1 and 1/8th, straight steerer, but can't tell if conventional or internal.

Better pics or model year would help.

So phone CRC and ask them, or email.

I've found the cane creek website useful for getting the technical details to help you pick a headset - https://www.canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder
