What those numbers mean
- 30.15 mm (ID) → fits a 1 1/8” steerer tube
- 41 mm (OD) → fits the frame’s bearing seat (common IS41 standard)
- 6.5 mm height → stack height—important for proper preload
- 45° / 45° angles → angular contact surfaces (must match exactly)
This is typically referred to as an R408 / MH-P03 bearing, one of the most common sizes for integrated headsets on road and MTB bikes.
Compatibility tips (don’t skip this)
-
41 mm vs 41.8 mm is NOT interchangeable
Even a 0.8 mm difference won’t fit properly. -
45°/45° vs 36°/45° matters
Wrong angle = poor seating, creaking, premature wear -
6.5 mm vs 7–8 mm height
Small differences can affect headset preload and fork/frame gap
