Hi guys, anyone know the size of bearing the headset takes on the Carlton Corsair used caged bearings but the cups don't like them as much as lose bearings!
 
3/16". Rings a bell :). Campag pista were smaller at 5/32" , doesn't seem like a big difference but those pesky pista balls were tiny :)

Re:

Most old standard headsets take 5/32. If your Carlton has a Raleigh octagonal top race it does. Always used plain balls in the 50s/60s, apart from sturmey archer.
