Best company/shop for headsets

[PeteXXX]

I'm trying to find a new headset as mine is knackered.
Bike is Trek Fuel EX9 2012
Trek archive puts headset as 'FSA NO.57E, E2, ACB sealed bearings'


Presently, discovered whilst dismantling the bike, it's a Cane Creek 40 ZS 44 top cup, ZS 56 bottom cup.
So far, Rutland cycles has sent me the wrong one, and Wiggle have recommended the wrong size.

Where's the best place to find the correct headset, (or even just the bottom end, as the top one is fine), please?

How about these people who specialise in bike bearings;

@Cycleops Thanks for the suggestion. I did ask them if they could source the headset from the bike details, but they couldn't help. I've not been back to them with the actual ZS numbers that I found once the bits were dismantled though. I'll get back in touch with them.

They only supply bearings - not the cups. If the cups are in good condition then you only need the bearings though - measure the external diameter, internal diameter & depth and angle of the bearing then you'll find the right one. Alternatively I'd expect that your LBS has a box full of different bearings...

@iluvmybike This is from the Cane Creek headset finder.

I don't have the tool to measure the angle on the bearings, unfortunately. I'll probably end up at the LBS.

I've mailed SJS to ask the question.. Ta

 

[topcat1]

Have you sorted this?

@topcat1 Yes, sjs were very helpful, thanks. Great customer service!
I replaced the bearings, as they couldn't source the complete headset, and test rode the bike around Sherwood Pines yesterday.
I kept oversteering as it was so free compared to the old cruddy ones.
