About this deal

Wherever you like really. It's common sense to have the bell mounted somewhere in easy reach where you can still maintain maximum control of the bike and on your dominant-hand side. In reality if they look around for five minutes they can find the same product which is the real thing for a lot less, if they could be bothered to spend a small amount of time to look. Mountain Bikes – Flat or Riser Bars (22.2 mm). With flat bars or riser bars, you’re looking at 22.2 mm diameter handlebars. This is the diameter just beside your hand grip and not near the stem, which can be 25.4 mm or 31.8 mm.

In the UK, the highway code states "you should fit a bell to your cycle". We take this to mean it isn't the law and that whilst advisable you are within your own rights to not ride with a bell fitted. Lots of road handlebars, as well as flat bars, will be marked with the diameter of the handlebar somewhere around the middle of the bar. A typical road bike size is 31.8mm for instance. If you're unsure, look up the model name and find out the size online, pop into your local bike shop where they can measure up or use a digital caliper or Vernier gauge to measure yourself. Where should I put my bell?Bells tend to be slightly cheaper, but horns won’t exactly break the bank. In the end, it comes down to where and when you use your bike, and whether you need a lot of volume to be safe. Bike Bells Some bells will fit on the bare metal handlebar, some will fit over handlebar tape too or onto an existing accessory; it will depend on the bell mount size and system.

In the meantime they have become pretty prominent as a brand - still it is mainly the price that draws interest to their offerings. Given the massive range of products sold under the brand I cannot imagine that they actually produce the stuff themselves. Even less given that there are countless similar looking products with different brand names on them. The typical issue with goods from China: Hard to tell about quality, hard to tell who is copying whome. Impossible to tell if there will be customer service and if so how it will behave.You have the option of left or right-side mounting, it weighs just 40g and has a nice definitive 'ping'. Our reviewer did find it a bit awkward to access as you need to reach down to it while you're riding, which might not be ideal; so while it won't be for everyone, it's definitely a solution worth considering for road cyclists. Road Bikes – Drop Bars (31.8 mm). Road bikes of the last 10 years use a 31.8 mm diameter drop bar. Some drop bars’ diameter might taper down to 23.8 mm towards the drop. Since you’ll be mounting the bell near the stem, go for the 31.8 mm diameter.
