In most cases you can, especially if your headset uses sealed cartridge bearings. The first step is identifying your headset code. Check out the Headset Code Breaker on our page: The Ultimate Guide to Identifying Your Bicycle Headset. Once you determine your headset code, you can refer to Headset FAQ #2 or reach out to our support team by emailed support@canecreek.com. All Cane Creek headsets use drop-in bearings that are fast and easy to replace without the need for special tools or knowledge.
