    I did a small clean-up with my headset and it uses a retainer ring bearing. Is a cartridge bearing a drop in "upgrade" replacement instead of the retainer ring bearing? or does the cartridge bearing use a completely different headset?

    Didn't say it was broken..I was cleaning it up. (FYI it had this brownish grease that was leaking underneath the bottom headset part). When I opened it up, there was this rusty grease all inside the headset bearing (top and bottom)..nevermind, I'll figure it out.
