BMCs have 42mm bearings, that usually means 46mm head tube diameter even on metal ones, possibly 47mm on carbon. There's no substitute for measuring!
hmmm. kinda thought mine was 45mm. It definitly tapers a touch. My new bear cover is a tad too wide.
I'm 90% sure its this headset in both mine and Dans bikes. 41mm bearings, 45mm headtube.

Buy all the sizes!
They are £10 each, for the price of 2 you could buy a digital caliper and actually measure your head tube :-) -

Badumtish.
But it is looking pretty phalic at the moment, with a rounded cover that is 2mm too wide.My calipers say 46mm. But I could'nt get to the top of the taper with the current cover (47.5mm) in place. The gap at the top looked to be 0.5mm each side. So I'm going to say 45mm was correct. As soon as I left the house I realised my original cover was in the parts bin, and I could of just measured that. Doh!

Measured the cover that came with my BMC. Its exactly 46mm in diameter. So I'll do a checky edit on both lists. I've changed dan as well as his headset is the same as mine. I'll pm you both.
