• My friend has had her handlebars and shifters stolen. I can help replace those, but annoyingly they've also taken the compression ring and cover, and I know very little about headsets.
    The bike is a 2018 Cube Cross Race

    It seems to be a weird mixture of cartridge bearing bottom and cup and cone on top.
    I think this is the replacement part from Cube - link

    Does anyone know if the replacement parts can be found easily or does it need to be a whole new headset? Are there any cheaper alternatives to the Cube part linked above, if indeed that is the correct headset?

    Cheers 🙏

    Edit: now that I've had a closer look. The headset on the Cube website does not have the cup and cone style bearing in my pictures. What is this odd headset?!

  • May as well replace the whole top unit for a cartridge type. At least then you'll be sure it all fits together nicely.

  • Yes, could do - did not know that was an option.
    I can’t tell if this black bit (the upper race?) is part of the headset or frame. Can I find a cartridge bearing that will fit on top of it, or do I need to pop it out?
