+1Get the 110 series bearings, the future you will be glad you did.
Just email Mountainbikesdirect or diymtb and they can tell you which bearing you need. You might as well do the top bearing while you are at it.Thanks guys, are the zs part numbers still what I look for in the other types as in 110 or enduro bearing? Not sure on what I need to order exactly

I've had mine in for 18 months and all good. No creaking/indexing etc.How long do you blokes get out of your 40 ser. headset bearings ? I had a FSA last over 4 years and a King more than 2 years and it still was ok up until I did a frame swap. Just gone over to the Canecreek 40 and it's been 6 months on one bike and a couple months on the other but everything is still working fine.
Thanks Duck, ill have another look!Don't rely on the ZS numbers for new bearings. ZS (Zero-Stack) 44/56 headsets have cups pressed into the frame, which has 44/56mm bore diameter, with the bearings fitted in the cups. Different headsets can have different cup internal diameters, therefore different bearing diameters for the same frame diameter. The bearings should have printed on the outer shell the specific dimensions, eg. 40.8 x 30 x 8 45* x 45* or 45* x 36*. Match the new bearings to the numbers on the current ones.
Will do, they're both knackered anywayJust email Mountainbikesdirect or diymtb and they can tell you which bearing you need. You might as well do the top bearing while you are at it.

Mine have lasted just less than a year, have had a few very wet rides over the last couple months though..How long do you blokes get out of your 40 ser. headset bearings ?

I've had the 40 on my bike since April last year. Only a month or so ago it developed a creak, so I had it looked at when I got my fork serviced. Was just re-greased and she's good as new again.

Oh good, I thought because people recommended the 110 bearings that there was some really bad experiences. The 40 series aren't all that cheap and I hope to get more than a few months out of them.Mine have lasted just less than a year, have had a few very wet rides over the last couple months though..

That doesn't sound like much, just checked on strava and between 2 bikes I've already done 99hrs 11mins between 2 bikes this year and I haven't ridden as much as I normally do.IIRC, 40 stands for 40 hours of warranty.
