which headset?
I'm trying to put my bike back together. I had hip surgery a few months ago. After the surgery I took apart the bike to change a few parts/clean it, but now I'm missing a piece of the headset. I spent all day at the LBS looking and came up empty handed. The guys at the shop were no help either. I've got a Felt F-55, and I'm going to need a new headset. I looked around online, but can't find one that looks like the one on the bike. Does anyone know off the top of their head which one I need to order?

There are a few standards when it comes to cycling:

Everything else is up for debate.

You didn't mention what year your Felt F55 is, but for the past few current model years, they used either FSA or Aheadset 1-1/8" integrated headsets.

Pretty sure you're gonna need a Cane Creek standard (36/45 degree) 1 1/8" integrated headset.

it is a 2006 I believe. Matte black and yellow. It has an FSA Aheadset and it is 1-1/8" intergrated. Problem is it looks like the cups are part of the headtube and the bearings and races are all I need. Everything I see online has cups with it. I don't know what the hell i'm looking at.
can someone post a link if they have an idea?

Are you sure the cups are part of the head tube? Without seeing them (obviously), I would guess that they're just tight.

are the cups normally pressed into the head tube? Do you need special tools to remove and install them?
