Just wanted to say thanks for posting this table.
About 18 months ago my mate asked me to replace the bearings in his Langster headset. Pretty sure it was the same model as OP i. e. Red 2016
He had bought two different sets of bearings but neither of them fitted.
I eventually found this thread but suffered from a bad case of procrastination as in the mean time he had bought another commuting bike so there was no time pressure.
18 months later fed up of staring at this bike in my garage. Usual story was that the original bearing were totally shot, rusted and fallen apart so I couldn't read the details on the bearing shell.
So using the table/flowchart and my newly acquired for the purpose digital vernier gauge I identified that the correct bearing as ACB3645.
These are available at a good price from Bearings R us and they arrived within two days and have been successfully fitted along with the new brakes, hoods and cables.
Still cleaning a lot of grease off it (separate post) but bar tape next and it's done and can roll out of my garage and free up some badly needed space.
