Unanswered Where can I find this bearing?

After endless searching I can’t seem to find the large lower bearing arrowed below. Any suggestions?

How about just the balls?

Loose Bicycle Ball Bearings | Grade 10 | Stainless, Steel, Ceramic

These bearings are hard-wearing and designed to provide extra resistance to corrosion. Great for use in applications where extra resistance to corrosion is required such as bottom brackets and headsets.

Thanks,

I’ve ordered some. This seems a much better solution. I’m guessing put them in end to end and take out a couple to enable movement?

No idea but email Trailvision to see what they recommend?

Instead of replacing the open ball type of bearing, it may be possible (and preferred) to replace it with a sealed bearing. I did this many years ago on a Kona Dawg Supreme. I was surprised that on such a high spec bike the headset bearing was so shitty.

Edit: I give a big thumbs up to Trail Vision. Very helpful, quality products and fast delivery.
