I don’t have those numbers for headsets, and the numbers I do have are from Enduro and I have not verified them. But to give some idea of how much more space there is with Maxhit here are the numbers for 30mm Bottom Brackets ball sizes:
Enduro Maxhit stainless : 4.76mm
Chris King stainless : 3.175mm
Enduro ABEC 3 chromium : 3.97mm
BB Infinite ceramic hybrid : 3.175mm
Ceramic speed ceramic hybrid : 3.175mm
Kogel ceramic hybrid : 3.175
I haven’t had good results in local conditions with ceramic hybrid bearings - races wear quickly?
I think materials matter more than size in outlasting chromium-steel setups.
Hope that’s interesting/helpful.
