Subject: [CR] OMAS Head Set Question


Ahoy ! Uh..., duh... I have an OMAS h.s., alloy, the ball bearing of which are caged within plastic retainers (25 balls/retainer). I am assuming that basic, loose 1/8 in. balls can be used, adding one ball in place of the retainer (26 loose instead of 25 retained). Do I assume correctly? Having said that, I ask if anyone makes 1/8 balls retainer? Is this the SR road size or the Pista size? Also, I am supposing this OMAS h.s. is pretty darn good. Thanks.
