Vintage Racer Headset Bearings etc.

[Markone]

Ebay item 262106370018 44 piece tool kit, also available on Amazon, not the best quality but for the price, should do more than you need.

Many thanks,but not getting any listings with the ebay number you have posted?

Different item numbers,but would it be either of these two sets?

Or which one of these would you recommend?

Thanks,but just getting advice saying zero listings when I follow the link,odd?

Is there really very little to choose between these sets and therefore the cheapest is the best buy?

A late 80s Raleigh will probably have bearings in a cage rather than loose inside the headset and bb. I know some like to replace these with loose bearings, but tbh they've probably lasted for the 1st 30 years of the bike's life so they can't be that bad and they're a lot harder to lose! You may even find all that's needed is a clean and regrease.

Number and Link work fine for me...screen shot of the page in case you wanted to see it...

Im sure if you type the description/title on eBay search you will find it

No idea why it wouldn't work from where I am?OK,that looks good, a comprehensive enough set and very cheap,so I shall order one.Thanks again for your help.

I expect the bearings to be caged and am eager to see the condition that they have survived to date in.The overall condition of the bike is quite good,so I will be surprised if the bearings show much in the way of wear.

Tried both number and description,but it still won't come up! No problem,though because I have found the same set on Amazon for 18.99,
