Stronglight head bearings-Do I have to buy a whole headset?
The needles in my Stronglight Aheadset are falling out of their cages. Rather than have to replace the headset (it is quite new and the surfaces all look good) can I get new bearings? I can't be bothered fitting new cups etc.
Greetings from the wet and windy North west

Yes you can get new ball bearings (No you don't have to replace the whole thing!).0

you can get new roller bearings and bearing surfaces to drop into your Stronglight headset. Spa Cycles sell themRecipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.0

ball bearings are possible - some Stronglight headsets had rollers on the bottom and balls on the topRecipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.0
