Headset bearings

[MrGrumpy]

The headset on my Cube CX cross race pro 2016 is rough as a badgers........ was hoping to just replace the bearings but might need to check the races first. Anyone advise on bearing size ? From Cubes website this what is fitted. I get the difference top and bottom but the height of each bearing escapes me ?

• FSA Orbit Z-t ECO, Top Zero-Stack 1 1/8" (OD 44mm), Bottom Integrated 1 1/2"

ok are these all standard bearing sizes ? only really need the bearings.

Measure internal diameter, external diameter & depth - they should be a 36/45 angle - then look here : https://www.kineticbikebearings.com/chromium - scroll down until you get an exact match for yuors

The angles and dimensions will be etched on the circumference of the cartridges. Get new ones of those.

Not always and if there is bad corrosion you cannot make them out
