I've had a couple tiny #4 stainless steel washers on the mounting post,
between the striker and the bell for years. It still dings nicely, but
I rarely get "false positives". As the automated announcement used to
say in the London underground: "Mind the gap!" You may want to try that
before relegated the classic dingaling to the parts bin...

I've used the spring striker one for years on my Atlantis. Even with
chubby, cushy tires it'll ding-a-ling on the rough stuff. I figured
if I was on a "bell ringer" of a road, I either needed to slow down or
pick a better line. Now I have a third choice: get a better bell!

Hammer striker doesn't ding on bumpy terrain. Hadn't realized
that until now. Perfect. And I've been putting up with dinging
with spring style striker all over the place for a long long
time. Need to buy bell with hammer striker with next Riv order.

If you install it and don't like the position of the bell,
just loosen and rotate. I bought one but haven't put it on or
ridden with it yet. The bell is slightly smaller than the
other bells Riv sells but seems comparable on quality. I
prefer the hammer striker 'cause the spring style striker

all the time on bumpy terrain.

My only concern is I think it doesn't rotate around the
steerer tube, so one would have to know exactly where you
want it facing before cranking down on the headset locknut.
I can rehearse that with my regular bell before installing.
The price is very nice.
I have lotsa room for it on the sterrer tube/headset.
Let me know if you have it and like it, and if anything to
think twice about before attempting installation.
