    Finding a bell to fit my cyclocross frame

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Hi Guys. I need some help finding a bell that works on my cyclocross frame. I have one right now that fits on the bottom of my drops but it's kind of hard to reach when I'm in a situation because I can't reach it from the drops. I also have front bar brakes too, so I don't know where I can put a bell.

    Thanks!

    On one of my cyclocross bikes I have the bell on the stem.

    On the other it is on the bar just to the right of the stem.

    If I'm in a situation where I can't safely get to the bell in time, I just start hollering.

    Generally I ring the bell when I am well back, and then call out "Bicycle passing on your left" as I get closer. I sort of consider my bells the advance warning, and my voice the real message.

    ETA: 3 of my bikes have Incredi-Bells, and one has the lovely Crane bell Newfsmith linked.

    they have a lovely sound..... although I also love Mr elk's huge aluminum bell that sounds like a really old telephone..
