Review on 🔔 PDW Alexander Graham Bell - Steerer Tube Mountable Bicycle Bell by Phillip Johnson

I have to say. For its price it's a very good call and sounds fantastic. I'll give my full impression and rationale for my AG Bell review below, but I think I should discuss my other call, the Spurcycle call, to explain why I prefer the AG Bell for road bikes. Spurcycle Bell and I love it, but $50-60 is a lot of money to kit out a fleet of bikes. I myself have decided to equip my MTB and my partner's MTB with Spurcycle wind chimes. This is because they are very secure and easy to mount near the MTB style shifters and allow access to the crank. While most people might not care, we ride technical city trails populated by jerks on both the trails and the connecting paths, so bells are used all the time. Therefore, they must be excellent and constantly available. I'm saying all this because I feel like this is one of the few situations where a silly expensive Spurcycle call is worth it. very busy and/or very heavily populated area. On hybrid bikes, road bikes, and many other mountain and commuting situations, I will most likely choose an AG bell or some other PDW bell that sticks, although I wish they could take the grease out of that pinch. So to AG BELL: I equipped my girlfriend's racing bike with AG Bell and I don't regret it. Here are a few reasons: - I really haven't seen a way to place the bell next to the brakes and shifters on a road bike, so I feel more flexible in how I can adjust the bell; Since I'll probably have to snap a bit out of shape to hit the bell no matter where I put it, perfect adjustment is less important. However, this is the perfect setup on my girlfriend's bike. She rides Liv (Giant) Avil. On the bike, cable routing is odd and there's an extended stem system with hydraulic reservoirs that really get in the way of many decent bell options (including headlight mounts), but especially the cheaper Knog Bell, which I also own. For them, putting a bell on a stem is almost ideal. The bell is very easy to reach by placing your hand on the bars on either side of the bar. Note. The longer the stem, the greater the reach, but in fact almost any of you won't be afraid to let go of the handlebars for a quick call. My friend has a sore shoulder and still feels unsure about letting it go, so it was more of a consideration for me. Setting up the call was surprisingly easy. I've never fiddled with bars, but I've watched two videos on YouTube about disassembly and there haven't been any problems, although I will say. Ask a friend for help, the plug may fall out, and other parts may come off easily. While I didn't really care, having an extra pair of hands nearby will save you some heartache. You must have at least 10mm shims in your existing AG Bell replacement stem. So measure them and get the spares you need before attempting to install them. Spacers are usually 3, 5, 10 and 15mm. They're a bit bigger than I thought they would be but don't seem to get in the way of her bike. On both of our bikes (mine is a Scott Solace) the bell doesn't interfere with the thicker head tube, even though the available space between stem and head tube is compact. I am planning to buy a second one for my bike and am a little concerned that I might hit it with my knees when standing on a hill, but I expect it will be a small problem at worst. - It sounds very good at full throttle. on that thing. something is wrong with the Spurcycle, which requires a certain feeling. The sound is bright and beautiful and breaks through only a little. So yes. 5 stars including costs.
