Spurcycle Compact Bell – 22.2
The Spurcycle Compact Bell 22.2 (Black/Black) is a minimalist bicycle bell for 22.2 mm flat handlebars, with the same brass alloy dome and loud, friendly, sustained tone as the Spurcycle Original Bell – in a mount half the width of standard designs.
Why the Compact Bell?
Small footprint. According to Spurcycle the mount is half the width of standard designs, so it fits between the grip and the brake lever or shifter.
A big sound in a small bell. The same brass alloy dome as the Original Bell gives a loud, friendly, sustained tone.
Simple and robust. Around 30% fewer parts than standard designs and a fixed composite nylon mount.
Easy to repair. After a crash the bell can be repaired rather than thrown away.
Made for crowded flat bars
Next to the grips of a city, trekking or mountain bike there is little room left between brake levers, shifters and lights. A bulky bell gets in the way, and a cheap one is hardly heard. The Compact Bell takes almost no space and still rings clearly.
Compact or Original?
The Compact Bell uses the same dome size and gives a similar loud, sustained tone, but it is lighter, narrower and made for 22.2 mm flat bars only. The Original Bell fits a wide range of handlebar diameters and has a stainless steel body.
Who is it for?
- City, trekking and commuter riders. With 22.2 mm flat bars who want a clean, compact cockpit.
- Mountain bike and flat-bar gravel riders. Who meet hikers and other trail users and want to be heard early.
- Riders who want Spurcycle sound for less. At a lower price and weight than the Original Bell.
