Hey. Seems I need new bearings for my headset. It's one of these:

http://www.fullspeedahead.com/fly.aspx?taxid=138&layout=product

ORBIT Z 1.5R

• For 1.5" sized headtube and 1-1/8" steerer
• 36°/ 45° ACB
• For 55mm OD hesdtube
• Alloy top cap
• CNC machined alloy cups
• Angular Contact Bearings (Blue seal)
• Stack Height 6.3+4.4=10.7mm
• Weight - 140 grams
Is there a part number you can refer me to? I'm hoping to just pick up a set at the local bearing place on the way home. NOt sure what to ask for...

Thanks.

Part number, no.

Size, yep: ACB 36x45 degree, 41mm OD

This size bearing is pretty common across a lot of brands and applications. Most bearing stores, and even better equipped bike shops, should have it in stock.

Yeah, found that. Looks like it's going to be easier and only slightly more expensive to just get a new headset. Between bearing prices, and the shop's markup, it's not worth the headache.
