Sealed bearing options cube stereo hybrid

[Gilbo]

Hi All
I’ve got a 2022 cube stereo hybrid action team and I’m looking for sealed bearing head stock bearing options.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be welcome.
Cheers.

I had the lower bearing replaced with a Hope Tech Pick n Mix setup as my original was creaking. Think it came with a new crown, too.

I kept the top as-is because I like the Acros cable routing.

Forty quid fitted, smooth as you like, and no more creaking. No more Blockstop, either, remember. I prefer this, but others may not.

+1 for hope bearings. I’ve always been very impressed with the durability of their headset and hub bearings.

Creaking yeah got that and I’m a bit tired of keep going in there and greasing bearings. Sound like the solution I’m looking for with the bonus of no block stop. Any more details ie bearing size would be mega buddy.
