    I am a bicyclist, but was on a muti-use trail as a pedestrian and heard the best bike bell ever. It took a lot of searching (amazing that some expect us to buy a bell without ever hearing the sound!), and so grateful to find it was the Crane Riten Brass bell, so I can purchase it now. It's the perfect "I-am-a- bike-getting -ready-to-pass-you" warning-without-causing -pedestrian-,panic bell out there! Love the sound, especially sounded three times. Much better than yelling "on your left" because in that moment, no pedestrian remembers which way is left! A proper, beautiful bell, and a pedestrian knows you are there. Many thanks!

    • @somafabrications9345
      @somafabrications9345 Рік тому

      I think this build had a 11-46t S-Ride cassette, the BB came with the Vortex crank, which has a tuneable chainline using spacers. The chainline was probably about 43.5 since the front derailleur is a simple road one, not GRX. Don't recall the hub...maybe just DTSwiss.

There's also a spacer ring, but I don't see how you stop the outer ring from just moving around the inner spacer ring...I see screws here in the video, that are simply not on my bell

    None of the bells sound that loud in this video, likely automatic level recording - you really need a loud bell above traffic noise. I have a Riten bell which is jolly loud and much better than the bells that just have a single ring.

    Only point of criticism for me is that they do not seem to have modernized their mountings on the "vintage bells" ... today's handlebars are powder coated or painted ... a metal strip tightly screwed to that is not exactly something I would prefer ... apart from that especially the SUZU is just PERFECT.
