Specialized Sequoia 2017 headset bearing spec

Anyone know what headset bearing is OEM for the newer Sequoia's with the 1-3/8" tapered carbon fork? Is it one of these:

My link shows 2 different headsets, one is 36/ 45 and the other is 45/ 45.

I bought the fork alone, and want to use it in a different frame.

I know what the outer spec dim./ angle is for my frame, just not sure what the inner angle is for the fork (36 vs 45).

I am not sure that a bearing exists that I want. When I bought it, I assumed the tapered fork was 1.5"; but it is 1-3/8".

My bearing from the frame and my original 1.5" fork is:

TH-073 ACB 36°X45° MR127 FOR 1.5" STEERER

So the headset spec for the original bike/forkis meaningless, you need to makesure the new frame will accept the fork, from what your saying it's tapered, but if the new frame is a ZS headset spec, that's irrelevant. if it's an IS or EC, then is.

Get it from your local Specialized LBS

They can put you model or serial number into their B2B site and help you figure it out. Retail will set you back like $25 or $30. There's a handful of different ones but the B2B site will help them figure out what you need

The top one is a special Campy one and the bottom...who knows. Its just specific to your bike

In order to use the fork with my frame I would need a bearing with these dimensions (not sure if it exists). Does anyone know of an industrial bearing source that might have this:

Dude, just go to your local Specialized LBS. It's kinda proprietary to Specialized, they might actually have one in their box of treasures. That's where I found mine

Since you don't have a Specialized frame, try calling FSA?
