Cane creek s1 Replacement

[Drew Kelly]

I have broken two of my s1 bearings are there any bearings that could replace them.

I tried looking it up on google but could find a good source so im gonna ask you is a a sealed headset with cartridge bearings or does it use normal bearing rings?

 

[Drew Kelly]

its sealed and if i take this part off then i can see a ring so yes

I can find replacement bearings for S2 and S3 but im not sure if those will fit S1.

The thing with replacement parts is that they cost almost as much as a new headset so I would recommend buying a new headset instead.

thats what i thought to cause i was looking around and whatnot but thanks for your help

Np man

 

[Drew Kelly]

so then what would be a cheap replacement headset haha

Just contact Cane Creek. S3 bearings should fit in an S1 as the only difference between the headsets are the cups are made of different materials.

well today i went to grease up my headset and the bottom bearing, you could actually see the ball bearings inside it, it was wierd.

^ Happened to me on the top bearing of my integrated headset. The angled inner part of the bearing actually came off and was stuck to the compression ring. Maybe yours got stuck to your crown race.
