had the exact same trouble - no shops in newcastle (didn't try evans though) did, and each said the same thing - best bet is the internet if you're after a complete bearing.
i botched and just bought loose bearings.
Anywhere in Newcastle that might carry replacement cartridge bearings for headsets? Specifically Crane Creek 41x30.2x6.5 35x45degree angle?
