Are all IS42 headset bearings the same depth?
Gattopardo:
Replacing a specialised headbearing and have seen mentioned bearings are a different depths. Is this a different standard or just different bearing codes.
yoav:
Can’t help with your specific query but I can say that when I replaced bearings in the bottom bracket and wheel hub, I removed the bearings and measured them with a vernier callipers then looked online for identically sized bearings. The code numbers were sometimes the same, sometimes similar and sometimes completely different. I went by the size rather than the numbers.

The issue is that the the headset is the proprietry specialised one. Then the issue with an aftermarket fork so need a deeper bearing than the usual 6.5mm. Have no idea which intergrated headset is fitted, bought the planet x selcof replacement bearings but there is no marking on the sides of the bearing of depth.
