identifying crown race...
in a comedy of errors swapping a fork over, I watched a crown race bounce out of the garage and roll into a crack of concrete.... and is now completely lost
All I know is that it's an FSA headset and a standard 1 1/8th as I didn't originally fit it... is this an easy replacement to source?

Try fishing with a magnet.
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840
Re: identifying crown race...
The bearing itself? If so, Google "FSA headset bearing" and you will find many sources, but also many types e.g. https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/componen ... pares-t128 . I suggest you look at the other (upper) bearing unit for a part number or description of the angles involved, then you will probably find something.
Re: identifying crown race...
I have found a (barely readable) code on the top of the headset - h2069
Which according to some exploded diagrams is a FSA orbit headset
And I need a h6033 crown race
Thanks

Hset parts tend not to be sold separately - you just buy a new hset.

And if you have destroyed a hard disc (often when disposing of a CPU to stop your data being stolen) the magnets within are extremely powerful.

Re: identifying crown race...
the part in question is aluminium, so would not be magnetic...right?

Re: identifying crown race...
Not clear what race made from as not seen, but unlikely that parts are not ferrous (ie magnetic) as that material is suitable for use as race or ball / needle.

Even if exterior is (was) Alloy, almost certainly a steel insert so a magnet might just do the trick.
Re: identifying crown race...
One can buy crown races seperatley I have done so before, ebay for about £6 just input the part number.
