No idea if the caad has a propretary headset or not. That said... as long as you know the specs of the bearings to find the right headset in the after market shouldnt be a problem go after market...
The bottom 1.5 bearing is standard, the top one no idea if is a 36x45 or a 45x45 specs, do you know the specs?

I don't have the specs, and haven't gotten around to actually measuring, not exactly sure on what to measure. There are some caad 10 headsets being sold, but no specs are listed there either, and run in the 90s, whereas a perfectly serviceable tapered headsets are available for 30-40.

I found out a long time ago if you spend a little more it will last longer.

Going with a Chris KIng headset soon, as said above,spend a little more now, it pays off in the long run. I intend to keep the CAAD 10 for a long, long time.
