Will S-8 bearings fit integrated?

[nitroRCs]

Hi guys, I have a Cane Creek S-8 standard headset, and according to this: http://www.skaterhq.com.au/browse/details.asp?ProdID=139205

It will fit into a integrated, right? And if so, do I just use the same top cap?

All help is appreciated .

Is it a 1 1/8 integrated headset? If so, yes.

The deck which I'm looking at, the DK2 (district integrated) is 1 1/8th but the s-8 is a standard headset, but according to skaterhq, if I use the bearings without the cups, it should work, right?

The web site says it's 1 and 1/8 and fits in any integrated scooter. I think that's the best answer you'll get.

This makes building your Scooter so-much easier! The Cane Creek 1 1/8 Headset-bearings fit into any deck with an integrated head tube! (TSI Flow Master 2, Free Flow 2 and Phoenix integrated)

It says the 1 1/8th cane creek bearings will fit into any integrated headtube so does this mean I can use my s-8 bearings and top cap as integrated?

^ This... the bearings for a normal headset are shorter than bearings for a integrated headset, so if you use bearings from a normal headset for a integrated deck the bearings will explode.

Just for future reference, I think on the original link they meant an integrated headset when they said "bearings only". Regular cane creek (non integrated) headsets are not 45/45. They should really change the wording they used.
