Just remove the strap and its retainer from the M5 screw. The screw in the bell might have to be replaced or cut down a bit.

This puts it right where my thumb travels from a top of the bar position, and seems to minimize uncommanded ringing. I am also riding 50 mm tires at about 2 Bar, 30 psi, pressure. That absorbs a lot of shocks that would ring the bell and ding my body.Mark Holmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-6620206971131592522017-07-04T12:51:28.259-04:002017-07-04T12:51:28.259-04:00Jan Heine and Peter Weigle mounted the bell on the...Jan Heine and Peter Weigle mounted the bell on their entry bike for the Councours des Machines below the saddle, because it was supposedly "more aero". Joke aside, maybe that is a nice idea, when you dont need your bell very often and dont have much space on the handlebars.<br />Not sure how they mounted it though...Luquashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440976240309661418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-63983537967910722342017-06-29T14:09:02.967-04:002017-06-29T14:09:02.967-04:00@ Cris - I'd make sure the bell is tight in pl...@ Cris - I'd make sure the bell is tight in place or try bending back the striker a bit so it doesn't hit <br /><br />ScottVeloOrangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814029344407654254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-23429144674795716902017-06-29T11:28:25.208-04:002017-06-29T11:28:25.208-04:00I installed a bell but it rings whenever I hit a p...I installed a bell but it rings whenever I hit a pot hole, and to some degree, when running over uneven pavement. Is there a way to stabilize the bell or provide some shock absorption so that it won't make those annoying sounds?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435441896411307867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-27785343186110768332017-06-29T03:48:48.758-04:002017-06-29T03:48:48.758-04:00Sad that VO doesn't sell the black version of ...Sad that VO doesn't sell the black version of the threadless spacer bell mount for 1" threadless steer tubes.

Not super handy for frequent use, but I think he thought it was a way to keep it available but out of the way for occasional use. <br /> dcainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993605656392392942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-10995339447385444962017-06-28T18:15:19.102-04:002017-06-28T18:15:19.102-04:00I like being able to ring the bell without taking ...I like being able to ring the bell without taking my hand off the brake lever, just in case I need to stop or swerve in a hurry. I'm using an Osaka Roadie Clip-on bell clamped to the edge of my brake hood, like in the first photo on this page:<br /><br />http://www.osakabell.com/uploads/1/3/8/0/13808747/bell_drop_bar_demo_250.jpg<br /><br />It works, but the bell is small and high-picked. I'd like a similar set-up with a larger bell.Zed F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07240634864757051836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-7825840043419127472017-06-28T15:45:25.619-04:002017-06-28T15:45:25.619-04:00Take a Minoura accessory holder with a short bar a...Take a Minoura accessory holder with a short bar and configure it so that the bar on the accessory holder is vertical when you mount the accessory holder on your handlebars. Then, cut a hole through the middle of a 2.5" x 2.5" x 2" piece of sponge and push the sponge onto the accessory holder bar. Secure the sponge by twisting a size 107 rubber band around the top of the accessory holder bar and gently pulling the sponge around the rubber band. You can then mount a size 4/0 Swiss cowbell <a href="http://www.porkparts.com/images/cowbell.jpg" rel="nofollow">thusly.</a> Genuine Swiss cowbells are preferred as the taper on the bottom helps keep the bell from bouncing off of the mount when you hit a bump.ploeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248826561069733693noreply@blogger.com
