gravel frame Elves mori headset
« on: March 12, 2026, 03:46:11 AM »
Hello, I have a question regarding headset compatibility.
I have an Elves Mori Aerox frame and I’m planning to change the headset spacers.
Do you know if the FSA ACR or SMR system is compatible with this frame, especially the spacers and headset cover?

I highly doubt that. If the headset is the same as on my Eglath Pro (from the pictures it does appear so), then it is proprietary. Sourcing the bearings was also atrocious, because the 8mm bottom one was a pain to find.

i buy this cover https://www.fsaproshop.com/products/acr-headset-top-cover?srsltid=AfmBOopdB98mbQCyarDrjv06NAaRC0oMpxHNWez80O8-pdcThx6kWAsB and this compression ring https://bike-rs.pl/pl/p/Podkladka-sterow-FSA-ACR-H2474/12639

I am not sure if that’s gonna work, my man. The bottom headest cover is 57mm on mine. Not sure if the Mori uses the same one, but I would assume so. Let me know if that works for you.
