Headset Stupid Question (road bike)
Discussion
So I am doing up my old road bike for a commuter but lack of experience is telling me.
Apparently it has CUBE Orbit Z-t, top zero-stack 1 1/8", bottom 1 1/2" integrated.
I took it all apart and found a suitable replacement bottom bearing from the markings for £11 but I am struggling with replacing the top bit or finding the parts. The complete headset is £50 so it seems a waste if I cant get parts. Or is there someting suitable I can replace it with that might last a bit longer?
Top looks like a bearing retainer arrangement onto a race.
Any help appreciated.

I have just replaced an FSA Orbit Z 1,5
It was easier/cheaper to get a complete unit from these guys:

The upper and lower bearings are the same size iirc, the upper uses the gold coloured inset to reduce to 1 1/8.
Otherwise I think the single bearing linked to earlier in the thread is the correct one. You will need to reuse the existing reducer.
