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.

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".

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.

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

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.

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!

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
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

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.
