In this case, water on the bell works just like water on any other mechanical ring device, it does not affect the electronics. ride in the rain a lot and have done so for many years, but I have now realized how dangerous it is, and now only ride when there is no rain and mainly walk long distances when it is wet. Besides working other muscles and getting the back into a better position, which many lifetime cyclists fall into when they walk, doing a jog is better than cycling.
Thanks so much for your inquiry, Michael. Drop bars are the ideal place to mount the Trigger Bell. It usually fits on the left hand side. This is because on this side you can fiddle with the hammer and make a really loud ring with your thumb. It is possible to mount the Trigger Bell on the right hand side, but you will likely have to find a comfortable and ergonomic position or you may not get the loudest sound. The easiest way to test it out would be to order one, try it out, and if you are not 100% satisfied with it, you can email me through the Trigger Bell website. I will This might be of use to you. Thanks very much.
The Trigger Bell will fit handlebars with a diameter of 35mm, yes. A strap on it is adjustable, allowing it to fit handlebars with diameters between 22mm and 45mm. You can get in touch with me if you have any other questions or need any fitting assistance. Thank you.
You asked a good question, thank you. I am able to answer this question after looking at some pictures of the handlebars. There is a slot under the brake and at the grip on the left hand side. The standard positioning for a bike with no gears is shown on the Trigger Bell website. There is an instruction video and lots of examples of fitting on the site. If you have any questions at all, please contact me through the site and I will assist you manually. Please feel free to keep the bell if it's not perfect. I can provide a full refund if it's not. This might be of use to you. Thanks very much. This is Stefan. Vice President Human Resources

Now it just "clinks"-- I've fixed it. In other words, My bicycle drop bars have been mounted with this product. As far as the strap going over the hood is concerned, I don't mind it. Although the ring was great when it was originally installed, now it only makes a "clink" noise instead of its original clear sound. The dome of the bell could have been dislodged, since my thumb naturally rests on that part of the bell when I ride. The "clink" can be heard in the video. I update " There are a couple of good suggestions in the comment section of this post. A ringing sound was heard again after I restored the clear sound. My “click” video has been replaced with one that carries a “ringggg” sound.
It was not very loud, and installation problems were numerous, but it was I don't think it's overly loud, but I guess it's This is not a bike for traffic, but it is As soon as I tried to install it on the hood of my 105 STI shifter, the rubber was scratched. I didn't do anything drastic, but I attached a piece of tape without thinking about it. In addition, the mounting side of the bell body has a very curved shape. Specifically designed for handlebars that are narrower or standard. After some investigation, I decided that it would be better if I mounted it lower. The rubber body was supposed to be flush or perpendicular to the mount. However, the main problem is that in that position, the plastic strap will flex from and may interfere with the braking system. As I rode my first bike, I was very pleased that the bell seemed to be very secure and that it was easy to access both from the hoods and from I also wondered what was wrong with my front brake, as it felt weird and wasn't working properly. To keep the bell strap from being too tight, you must be careful. Finding a balance between it not moving around, but still able to flex and be loose enough not to interfere with the brake is crucial. The problem only occurs when the hood is mounted to a road bike. Perhaps other systems of braking and shifting will not have a problem. There should be some instructions or a link to a video for the installation of the package, or at least some video. This would have saved some time mounting it and ringing it properly instead of fiddling with it. I don't think it will be too difficult to install- There is a bit of a fiddly feeling to it, which I didn't expect Despite what some may say, the bell is fine. It may not be the loudest or the cheapest one, but it works fine. It is a brilliant idea, though. You have no other option, as far as I know, when it comes to adding a bell to your It can be worthwhile to deal with the installation quirks just for that reason.
The bike I ride is a Fuji Tread with drop My handlebars are oversized, and none of the bells in the shop fit my After some digging around online, I settled on buying a Upon considering the Knog Oi, it looks cool, but reviews said it was not very loud, which would be a problem on the busy bike paths I ride. I looked at the Adjustable Incredibell, but reviews said you had to permanently wear the bell. Moreover, I did not want to spend $50 on a Spurcycle bell since that would cover the cost of something else I need to buy, such as clipless pedals. Please install the following We were able to install the software fairly easily. It is easy to tighten and loosen the adjustable bands by turning the screw. I did have difficulty getting the small plastic collar to keep the extra length of the band neatly tucked in at the end. In the photo, you can see how it looks on my left hood. By using my thumb, I pull the striker back to ring the bell. We had to get the bell at the right angle so that it did not interfere with the brakes or the shift This is what I've already experienced so far The program works like a charm. When I first used my thumb to pull back the striker, I flubbed it and didn't get a clear sound, but now I can do it with a light flick of the finger. I can clearly use the bell to be heard by other cyclists and pedestrians when I approach. As the band wraps around the hood, I do not notice it since I do wear gloves (note - I do not wear my uniform with bare hands). One of the best things about the system is that I do not have to take my hands off my hoods in order to ring the bell, I can just keep going and hit it without losing my grip.
A bell that I could install on my road bike for added safety when I came across other cyclists and pedestrians was what I was looking for. It was difficult to avoid bells that looked like sore eye spots on my rig as I reviewed countless products. It's kinda like trying to avoid a pimple when you have an event to attend or a special occasion. If you hope to hide or conceal its presence, you would at least be hoping to conceal it. It was getting a little frustrating for me with many, if not all of the bells that I saw as standing out visually too much AND forcing me to take my hands off my drop down bars/hood to activate them. There is a slight safety hazard here. If you look at it this way. Turning on your turn signals requires you to take your hands completely off the steering wheel, do you agree? That isn't really the case. When you are holding the steering wheel, you can use your finger to turn on or off the turn signals. Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal, it is one less distraction that you have to worry about while you are driving. My cart was already full of a bell, and I was about to make a reluctant purchase (I already had one in the cart). This bell is perfect if you are looking for a bell that is loud enough, but also discrete and does not stick out like a sore thumb, while also making it possible to keep your hands on the bar (works with different bar types) for safety and gear/braking functionality. The creators of this product truly thought this out with these exact details in mind! They deserve props! They are easily installed on both my bikes and I have even purchased 3 other sets to give to other riders as gifts. In addition to helping them fulfill their needs, these bells serve the same purpose as what they themselves were searching.
