It's fixed to an ahead spacer, so you have to take the stem off to fit it, mind.</p> <p>£6 from Harts Cyclery. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-199333 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 22:51:46 +0000 gembo 199333@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have brass bell that seems same as one arellcat mentions. It is very nice. It is on wide bars found for me by Matt at justbikerepairs of juniper green. I think he saw sourcing a bell with wide mount as a challenge </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-199315 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 13:33:50 +0000 wingpig 199315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought a spacer-mounted bell to steal the pinger from to replace the pinger on my bell after that was used to replace the pinger on the wingpiglet's old bell. I was going to use the spacer-mount to either mount a light or camera, to free up some bar-space, improve rest-upside-down capabilities or decrease camera-wobble. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-199308 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:56:17 +0000 amir 199308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll try to get to a CCE PY one of these days to give a demo but I can't do the next one. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-199303 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:47:41 +0000 Baldcyclist 199303@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had no idea it was possible to covet a bell, what a lovely thing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-199301 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 12:43:08 +0000 amir 199301@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have just bought a Portland Design Works Alexander Graham Bell. This replaces one of the spacers above the headset so is ideal for a roadbike. I used to have one of those standard plingers that almost no pedestrians can hear. This one is brass and has a lower pitch and is much louder. I've not yet been along the innocent to test it on some guinea pigs. Even so it is considerably more beautiful in sound and look that its predecessor. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149451 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:32:33 +0000 chdot 149451@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>These have impressive resonance AND I see different mounting options below -</p> <p><a href="http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Accessories.html" rel="nofollow">http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Accessories.html</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149449 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:28:55 +0000 kaputnik 149449@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A brass bell should resonate fine in the rain, unlike the little "pink-pink" steel ones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149445 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:02:30 +0000 Arellcat 149445@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a little BBB bell that attaches using an o-ring stretched around the handlebar. It's high pitched and a bit quiet compared with the 'usual' taller ping bell. In the rain it barely manages a 'tink!' </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149443 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 13:46:38 +0000 tk 149443@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I managed to mount one on my partners bike on the ahead stem. It's just a standard small cylindrical bell from EBC (the ones where the sprung bit can rotate round the bell) and I changed the bolt to one much longer. Works just fine </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149400 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:40:59 +0000 acsimpson 149400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had that exact same problem on my cross. I ended up using an old light bracket and attaching the bell to that. I'll try and post a picture later. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149379 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:44:24 +0000 wingpig 149379@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you can find something like the <a href="http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/pdw-king-of-ding-ii-bell-prod32720/">King of Ding</a> I've something similar which fitted my drops and now fits my horns. Sounds a bit like a hotel reception desk's single <em>ting</em> but audible enough. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12614#post-149369 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:11:09 +0000 dg145 149369@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi</p> <p>The bell that came with my cross-bike died a couple of weeks ago (to be honest it was always next to useless in the wet, anyway). I've been trying to find a decent replacement but all the bells I've seen in shops or online appear to have too narrow mounts.</p> <p>I need a wider mount that will fit around drop-bar handlebars. Any ideas?</p> <p>I bought one from Halfords that 'looked' big enough. Wasn't. Looked in Decathlon ... nada. Looked online at EBC and Wiggle, but the little they had appeared to be for mounting round narrower bars. </p>
