Bike bells usually look and sound unappealing, but the Oi Bell is a game - changer. Imagine a bell that looks sleek and emits a sound as enchanting as an angel playing a glockenspiel. This bell not only has a beautiful tone but also a remarkable style and high - quality materials that reflect a rider's personality. The Small Oi Bell is designed to fit 22.2mm diameter bars, such as those on mountain bikes (near the grips), BMX bikes, and some old commuter bikes. Before ordering, make sure you know where on your handlebar (grips or stem) you'll place the bell, as you might need a different size. In terms of appearance, while most bells stick out, the Oi Bell seems to hover around the handlebars. It's both discreet and eye - catching. Regarding the sound, Knog tested many 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 produces multiple pitch tones, like a chord on a musical instrument, making it easily recognizable and safe to be heard. The mount is also a highlight. It has a built - in cable management system, which not only allows the bell to look and sound great but also helps organize your handle - bar cables. Installing the bell is a breeze. Just pop it over the bar and tighten the hex screw. It won't slide down the handlebars, and there's no need for dismantling and re - assembling.
Using the Oi Bell is very easy. First, decide where you want to place it on your handlebar, either near the grips or on the stem. Make sure you choose the right size for your bar, which should be 22.2mm in diameter. Once you've found the spot, simply pop the bell over the bar and give the hex screw a quick tighten. You're all set to start using it. When it comes to maintenance, it doesn't need much. Just keep it clean by wiping it with a soft cloth from time to time. If you notice any looseness in the mount or a change in the sound, check the hex screw and tighten it if necessary. And remember, if you're unsure about the size, measure your handlebar diameter before ordering to avoid getting the wrong fit.
