Spacer Bell Mount

One of the characteristics of fine bikes is a lack of stuff clamped on all over. There are brazed-on fittings for everything required.

I often take a busy bike path out of town on my rides. So I decided to mount a bell on my new bike to warn pedestrians and slower riders. Of course, I chose one of those lovely Japanese brass bells. But how to mount one without a clamp? The French constructeurs tapped the bike's stem and screwed in the bell. I wasn't willing to do that to my Nitto Pearl stem. My solution was to make a headset spacer mount that the bell screws into.

If you need extra un-tapped spacers in 2mm, 5mm, or 10mm heights, they are available in the shop section. The bell mount is 10mm thick.

The bell itself is not included.

Note: if you have an older bike with very little room under the headset nut, then get a Retro Mount instead.
