Most bike bells out there are not only unsightly but also have an unappealing sound. However, what if a bell could be both stylish and emit a sound as sweet as an angel playing a glockenspiel? The Oi Bell is just that. It has a lovely tone and a remarkable design, crafted from top - notch materials that reflect a rider's unique personality.
The large Oi Bell is compatible with bars ranging from 23.8 to 31.8mm, which includes drop - bar road bikes and some cruiser or commuter bikes. Before placing your order, make sure to decide where on your handlebar you'll install the bell (near the grips or at the stem), as you might need a different size.
**Appearance**: Unlike typical bells that stick out, the Oi Bell seems to float around the handlebars. It's both understated and stands out in a way that makes it instantly recognizable.
**Sound**: Knog conducted extensive tests on numerous prototypes to achieve the perfect pitch, ring length, and volume. With a spring - loaded actuator in the mount, the bell strikes firmly and quickly, balancing volume and sound longevity. It has multiple pitch tones - a core tone and several higher supportive tones, so it's easily distinguishable and can be heard clearly for safety.
**Mounting**: Don't worry about handle - bar cables. The mount has a built - in cable management system. This not only ensures the bell looks and sounds great without interference but also helps keep your cables organized. Installing the bell is a breeze. Just slip it over the bar, tighten the hex screw, and you're ready to go. It won't slide down the handlebars, and there's no need for dismantling and reassembling.
Using your Oi Bell is super easy. First, decide where you want to place it on your handlebar, either near the grips or at the stem. Then, simply pop the bell over the bar and give the hex screw a quick tighten up. You're all set to use it right away.
Here are some important notes. Make sure to measure your handlebar's diameter to ensure you order the right size bell. The large Oi Bell fits bars from 23.8 to 31.8mm.
For maintenance, periodically check the hex screw to make sure it's tight. You can clean the bell with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking good. If you notice any issues with the sound or the mounting, you can always reach out to the manufacturer for support.
