Headset bearings
trying to find headset bearings for a 2015 Scott Solis 2 road bike. The bearings are an odd ball size manufactured by Richey, and where used exclusively on the Solis 2. The bearings no longer exist according to Richey and Scott. Should anyone have a Solis 2 they no longer ride and it’s just collecting dust I’d love to scavenge the top and bottom bearings. I will pay for the bearings plus the cost of shipment should anyone be able to help or know where I can buy new.

What size are they? I am sure they are available somewhere, just not from the obvious sources.
Do you mean a Solace 20?

I'm skeptical that a propriatary bearing, headset, or otherwise would be developed for a single make/model of bike.
My guess, given a lack of information from a 5 minute Google search and a look at a picture is a generic 1 1/4 by 1 1/8 intigrated headset for a tapered steer tube. I could be wrong, it could be an 1 1/8 straight, not tapered. I am eyballing by picture here.
Pop the headset out, take a few measurements and come back to us. Or if not us, take the pieces to a local bike shop. You probably don't even need to identify the bike.

On the basis that this is what you have https://www.evanscycles.com/scott-so...-bike-EV224268
One of these headset bearing should work https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/...g/rp-prod62162
You can pull your old bearing, and check the specs either by looking on the side for the laser etched marking, or use a vernier caliper to measure them.
Choose you preferred supplier depending on your location.

You need to take the old ones to a bearing shop not a bike shop. Someone like this.

I would go to Cane Creek and get your S.H.I.S. straight. They have a wonderful headset fit finder that has worked well for me in the past.
