Hi all, can anyone confirm for me if these are the correct headset bearings for the E-160 S?

FSA SA No.57E Orbit Tapered Headset Sealed Bearing 1.5E ZS 1-1/8"-1.5" OD 50mm/62mm

I can't find the precise information anywhere - the best I can do is:
"FSA No.57E Orbit ZS, 1 1/2" lower end and 1/18" upper sealed cartridge bearings"
from the Whtye site. The bit I'm concerned about is their mention of "ZS". Is that important/relevant?

Thanks in advance,

DB

Never used the seller but found these here. Look like the right ones to me.

I think this is the headset I had on my Whyte 905. Bearings were expensive to replace and sealing was poor so I binned the bottom (and later the top) set and fitted Hope mix and match ones for little more than bearings alone. Much better sealing and still going strong 3 years later.

I replaced the lower bearing on my 2020 Whyte E-150 with this a few months ago.
Didn’t have any info, just measured what came out and selected the same size bearing in stainless from Aire Velo Bearings online.
Perfect

edit. Just looked it up, it’s £20 now
Out of stock, but thanks ?
