FAQ

What headsets typically use a 49mm 36x45 bearing?

The 49mm outer diameter at 36x45 is used in specific integrated headset cup designs on certain road and gravel frames. Check your headset model number against Cane Creek documentation to confirm this is the correct bearing for your setup.

Is a 49mm bearing harder to find than more common sizes?

Yes. Less common bearing sizes like 49mm are not stocked at every shop and can require waiting on a special order. Buying a replacement bearing ahead of time is strongly recommended for riders who are mid-season or planning an upcoming event.

How do I verify my headset uses a 49mm bearing before ordering?

Remove the bearing from the headset cup and measure the outer diameter with a digital caliper. Alternatively, look up your specific headset model in Cane Creek documentation or contact their technical support for confirmation.
