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. On Wednesday, March 13, 2013 10

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 sp

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 a

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

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. Bill Lucas On Wednesday, March 13, 2013 9:27:43 PM UTC-7, Michael wrote: > > Was thinking

Same here. I didn't strip mine, but one must be careful. This one from Riv probably is deeper. On 3/14/2013 7:19 AM, Rambouilleting Utahn wrote: 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 spa

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. James Chang On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 9:51 AM

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 Thurs

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 bik

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". As the automated announcement used to say in the London underground: "Mind the gap!" You may want to try that before r

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, Dav
