Not a huge job for a pro. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20235#post-332178 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 09:58:38 +0000 toomanybikes 332178@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks very much, have gone for those. </p> <p>Finding the FSA website a bit confusing for which sealed ones correlate to this. </p> <p>If remotely stiff in the future, I'll take it a bike shop and make sure to ask for some sealed ones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20235#post-332174 Thu, 18 Jun 2020 09:20:12 +0000 I were right about that saddle 332174@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hard to tell exactly from the photo but I think you want these;</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Weldtite-Headset-Oversize-Precision-Bearings/dp/B00MY4Y9NE/ref=sr_1_13?" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Weldtite-Headset-Oversize-Precision-Bearings/dp/B00MY4Y9NE/ref=sr_1_13?</a></p> <p>I would frankly change the head bearings over to sealed ones if you intend to keep the bike. FSA and Nukeproof have done me well in the past. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20235#post-332160 Wed, 17 Jun 2020 19:38:39 +0000 toomanybikes 332160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Posted a photo in an old Boardman CX thread of my incredibly worn headset ball bearings. </p> <p>Ordered a replacement set but they not seem quite different. </p> <p>Does anyone know if they these new ones will work?</p> <p>old and new photographed together:<br /> <a href="https://imgur.com/a/oueAuyT" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/oueAuyT</a><br /> old ones seem to face outwards, whereas these face in all directions.</p> <p>Do these styles have names I can specifically buy ? </p> <p>Thanks in advance </p>
