Alexander Graham Bell

The Alexander Graham Bell is designed specifically for bikes with a 1 1/8-inch threadless steerer tube. It replaces a standard 10mm headset spacer, so ensure you have that specific amount of clearance available under your stem before installing.

Because it is crafted from solid brass, the bell produces a clear, resonant tone that carries well. While it is compact, the material quality ensures it is loud enough to effectively alert pedestrians and other cyclists on shared paths.

You will need to remove your stem to slide the bell onto the steerer tube, which requires standard hex keys. It is a straightforward installation, but you should be comfortable adjusting your headset tension during the process.

Yes, the solid brass construction will develop a unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. This is a natural characteristic of the material and adds to the bell's aesthetic character over time.

At 73 grams, the bell is relatively lightweight. While it is slightly heavier than some minimalist plastic bells, the durability of the solid brass and the space-saving design usually outweigh the minor weight penalty for most riders.
