Designed with the occasional home mechanic in mind, the Acros DIY Headset Tool is a capable, compact, and inexpensive alternative to headset presses that can cost well over $100. Learn more about the economical gadget from the German brand here…
The Acros DIY Headset Tool aims to strike the sweet spot for home mechanics who don’t want to make their own headset press but also aren’t eager to shell out $100+ for one for occasional cup installs. Priced at $29 (€29 in the European market), it’s a smart and affordable solution that features universal adapters for common headtube sizes (ZS44, EC44, ZS49, ZS55, ZS56 & ZS66 with adapter). It helps you get perfect alignment every time and is bearing-friendly, with force applied only to the bearing cup. When not in use, it breaks down into its constituent parts and fits easily into any toolbox, with a small, travel-friendly footprint.
The DIY Headset Tool is available now via the relatively new website Acros set up for the United States market, as well as from their Germany-based web shop. In addition to headsets, pedals, bars, and other components, they also offer a DIY Hub Bearing Tool ($21) and a range of other small tools, greases, and accessories.
