Trying to find replacement headset
Hi,
I have removed the headset from my Bianchi C2C 928 carbon (2011?2012?) bike. On one of the bearings, I found: FSA Industries 1 1/8 45X45.
Does anyone know what type of headset this might be? I can't find any other information.
Thanks in advance

The information given by DrIsotope is probably valid but it is best to measure first.

For future reference, Cane Creek has an excellent Headset Fit Finder tool
https://blue.canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder
Below is for the 2011 928.
IS means integrated. There are also ZS (zero stack), EC (external cup) and a few others.

As DrIsotope noted, buy an FSA Orbit CE replacement headset. It will be a direct replacement. Here is Amazon's listing for it:

The "28.6" and "30" are the ID of the bearing or, perhaps more specifically, the OD of the steer tube and the crown crown race, respectively. I guess they had a quota of decimal points since they were willing to use one but not 2 (or 4)
For more confusion, check the Park website for the Standardized Headset Identification System (SHIS). It does make it a little clearer but you really need to read through the whole article to understand it.

I know headsets are confusing but, honestly, a "standard" system shouldn't add to the confusion.
