5/32" Loose Ball Headset Bearings - How many?

Posted on
  • I've got an old frame in the stand and it's got a 1 1/8" threaded loose ball headset. Got a pack of 100 grade 10 steel balls in 5/32" size instead of using caged bearings as recommended by more experienced mechanics.

    Search engine results only coming up with 1" headsets where the consensus is 25 loose balls in 5/32" size.

    Would anyone know how many balls is correct for a 1 1/8" cup?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

  • All the balls you can fit minus one.

  • Got 28 in there atm. 29 looks a bit too packed.

    Edit: All sorted. Thanks for your help dude :)
