Specialized Tricross headset bearings.

[Brandane]

Found out today that the headset bearings on my Tricross are shot. I have stripped the fork down and regreased etc. as a temporary fix (still rough as....), but forgot to measure the bearing diameter, doh!

The standard bearings are the roller cassette type things. Rather than upgrade with a whole new headset, I was wondering if sealed cartridge bearings such as this would work:

Does anyone know what size I need, as they seem to come in 1 1/2 " and 1 1/8" sizes?

Thanks for that. Have fixed it with new ball-bearings meantime, will upgrade at some point in the future with a new headset. Had to use loose ball bearings which was a pain, they don't like staying in place (even with plenty grease) while you try to fit the fork .

Buy the new headset now, prices like this can't last long...
