Any semi integrated/internal/zero-stack headset
There are hundreds out there."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks, I thought so, seems an FSA 10 is a rare beast!
For £25-30, is there a brand you would go for? Or all much alike?
Do I need to consider size or all standard? This is what I have come up with so far, and still not 100% sure

(on the Q&A Wiggle confirms its a good replacement for an FSA10)
and this looks to be the same?

None are suitable they are all the wrong type."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Expensive, but better?0 -
If not sure wouldn't it be better to go to lbs and get them to match it up for you than trying to second-guess on line?

Its with my local bike mechanic (I gave him the wrong part), he will have a look later, trying to sort for myself same him the bother. I bought the original part from Merlin so also asked them. Didnt realise how complex it was!0

Ok
Ok and not ok
Ok.
If you had bothered looking at the headset info then you would have seen what the headset standards
You need a ZS44 standard headset for a 1 1/8 fork."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thanks. Not in the right colour! Would have gone for red or black0 -
Just in case anyone else is searching an FSA 10 replacement, this model fits, as confirmed above, by CRC and installed by a bike mechanic friend:

I can not comment on quality, not used it yet.
Thanks ALL0
