Product Details
Stylish, durable, and easily serviceable. Those were the goals when designing our headsets. We machine engrave our logos for a classy look, use durable and easily replaceable Enduro stainless steel angular contact bearings, and use a “split” crown race design that you can install and remove by hand.
The EC34│EC37 headset is designed to fit frames with tapered 34mm top/37mm bottom head tubes and can accommodate straight and tapered fork steerers with the appropriate crown race. But nowadays with all the different headset standards available we needed to get specific so check the SHIS specs below. SHIS? Yep, that’s the “Standardized Headset Identification System” used to verify compatibility.

FAQ’s
- Will this headset fit my bike?
- You will need to do some homework and get the SHIS specs of your frame and fork which those manufacturers will have. See those definitions here. Also see the “Compatibility” section on this page. Simply telling us what model bike you have may not be enough info to go on. Help us help you and get the specs!
