I have an old Stronglight French headset with a sound body but lousy bearings and races (removable rings), and a nice, relatively new Stronglight English headset that is not being used. Does anyone know if the loose bearing parts from the English headset will work in the body of the French one? Alternatively, where to buy the small parts for the French headset without purchasing an entire new entire headset?

If they're the same model; no problem. But Stronglight made many different models, with many different bearing types.

If it's a stronglight A-9 type of headset, xxcycle will sell you a replacement set of bearing race "shields" and needle bearings.
