Cannondale Caad8 2013 Headset
Hi all,
So I have been road cycling 2 years now and using my cannondale caad8 through winter and summer.
Recently my headset has started to give a little play and a very slight gritty feel when turning the bars unweighted.
Sounds like a new headset if I'm correct? Problem is I'm struggling to understand which headset I need.
Here is my research so far...
Referring the the cane creek headset finder it stated I needed:
Upper:
IS 41 / 28.6
Lower:
IS 41 / 30
Discussing with Evans cycles they suggested:
IS42 headset 28.6mm upper and 30mm lower
And numerous people on different forum posts have suggested a campy 45/45 1 1/8 headset such as:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/fsa-orbit-ce-black-1-18-integrated-aheadset/?lan...
So I have come to the conclusion that 30mm being 1 1/8 the wiggle link would be suitable, however why is the upper slightly smaller? Does this require a specific set of bearings?
If anyone could suggest a suitable headset and help me understand why it is suitable I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the responses guys.
Yeah I referred back to Evans and got a fsa orbit ce.
Fitting myself next week so should be okay, fingers crossed.
Thanks for the reference to the xannondale spares site too
Take the bike to your local bike shop?
Evens do sell Cannondale's, so they *should* know the correct parts.
Try these guys. Found them to be very helpful in the past..
