I need helping find a CraneCreek Headset piece(CAAD10)
I have lost the piece in the very top hand right. It's just a simple small wedge.. I was shipping my bike back home and the piece has just vanished. I took it to the LBS, but they want me to buy an entire new headset.
Top right corner piece.
Also, it's a 2012 CAAD10 if that helps.

This is why it's important to have a shop that will go to bat for you. If they call the manufacturer or their supplier and call in a favor, odds are they can get one sent out free. Suppliers always have some spares they cannibalize from defective or returned product, so it's just a matter of someone taking the time.
As to how to have a shop willing to go to bat for you, that's something else entirely.

Thanks to both of you guys. I know a new headset isn't all that expensive, but I've had no issues with this one and it has very low miles. Hopefully, I can get some help from the links above!
Thanks as always guys.

For the future, get one of those plastic shower curtain rings that close on themselves and latch, or a somthing similar (even a piece of ribbon) abs slip all headset parts on so it's one big loop that can't get lost. Or use something like a travel soap or cigarette box for the small stuff.
