Michael, It is a very nice bell. I have mine rotated into a tight spot. It wasn't hard to position. Also, the diameter of the mount matches the typical headset spacer diameter. The VO spacer didn't.

Re: [RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
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! dougP On Thursday, March 14, 2013 6:58:19 PM UTC-7, James Chang wrote: Hammer striker doesn't ding on bumpy terrain. Hadn't realized that until now.

Re: [RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
Have the bell and love it- mostly because it doesn't ring constantly unlike the spring hammer bell which basically drove me crazy. Took it off and gave it away. I imagine there are a of parts boxes with Silver Hupes and spring hammer bells in them! I am sure you could get'em cheap and have a bike that dings constantly while the paint is being scraped off the stays.

Re: [RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
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.

Re: [RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
Yes, I do the same thing - placing the striker further from the bell reduces the unintended ringing on bumpy roads. I may soon machine my own stem collar, with *two* attachment points, so I can mount double bells, just because. - Andrew, Berkeley On Friday, March 15, 2013 5:42:31 PM UTC-7, Dave Faller wrote: I've had a couple tiny #4 stainless steel washers on the mounting post, between the striker and the bell for years.

[RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
I had a similar one from VO and loved it, very clean installation. The problem with the VO product was that there are very few threads in the spacer and it stripped in a short time. If this mount addresses that issue I will get one of these in my next Riv order.

Same here. I didn't strip mine, but one must be careful. This one from Riv probably is deeper.

Hi Michael, I have the Crane striker bell on handlebar mount. It has a pleasant sound, is appropriately loud, and seems durable. I've used it for two seasons in the Boston area, leaving the bike in the weather at times, and it's non worse for the wear. There's a nice patina on it. I have the spacer headset mount (for threadless) with temple bell on a different bike. The spacer mount is terrific, if you like having a bell on the stem. It's a very clean and refined look.

[RBW] Re: Please review this bell from Rivendell...
I have a headset spacer mount for a bell. It's pretty straightforward. Not much to say about it really. If you have spacers under your top nut this just replaces 10mm of them. Mine is actually from Velo Orange as they offer the mount in 1 or 1 1/8. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
