Hello all, I need a new headset for my Tarmac SL4 S-Works as the current one is getting a bit rough.

Any suggestions for something that's pretty durable? I'd rather have something survive our British summertime than something that's really light and doesn't last.

Cheers!

I'm actually having the same issue. My cartridge bearings are quite rusted and I can't find them anywhere. Even specialized dealers can't find them on their internal dealer system. Interested to hear if anyone has a solution

if you can find the dimensions of the bearings, crane creek has a bearing tool.

Same here on my Roubaix SL4. The cane creek site doesn't have my specific frame listed so am a bit nervous of using that to buy bearings.

I had my LBS find me headset bearings... they got cane creek bearings that wound up being the wrong size/taper angle
