If you've cracked one of the cups then chances are the bearings are probably quite abused too. And getting spare cups for your headset probably isn't going to happen unless it's branded.

New headset?
FSA Pig. Tough Chromolly headset.

Or a budget one.

Hopefully that helps.

The FSA Pig will fit. It's an external 1.1/8th headset, which you most likely have. It's chromo and renowned to be solid. You will need some grease to fit. And don't go using a hammer again.
