My 2012 Canyon Aeroad's headset is completely shot.
It uses a non-sealed lower bearing and the holder has disintegrated. The outer steel holder is still usable and the crown race is maybe usable but I definitely need new bearings.
I've measured it the sizes seemed weird. Canyon's website didn't have enough detail, especially as the current model Aeroad has an entirely different headset. Ended up calling Canyon and they sent me a headset but it's not even close to fitting. The crown race doesn't fit the fork and the (cartridge) bearing is loose in the frame with ~2mm of play. The one they sent was a IS47/33.
Done a ton searching but haven't found anything that I think would fit.
The fork diameter where the crown race sits (a metal piece bonded to the lower part of the steerer) is 34.92mm wide.
The bottom of the head tube where the bearing sits has an internal diameter of 48.31mm.
Anyone got any ideas?

In general, Canyon seem to have "unusual" dimension headset bearings. I've generally steered customers towards Canyon direct from here in the UK. They've usually bought the bike from Canyon in the first place anyways.
Acros make quite a few of their headsets, http://shop.acros.de/ersatzteile/4376/b ... oad-cf-slx I wonder if this is the bearing set you need?
It'll involve some e mails to find/confirm the dimensions I'm afraid.
Hope this is some help.
