Spurcycle started with a very clear mission: to create a BETTER bicycle bell. Through exceptional design, clever engineering, and precision manufacturing, you could argue that they have created the BEST bell on the market. Loud yet polite, the Spurcycle Compact bell delivers a resonant tone (lasting up to 3x longer than other bells) that will grab the attention of even the most distracted cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. The Spurcycle Compact Bell differs slightly from the original Spurcycle. Meticulously manufactured in Taiwan from premium brass and composite nylon, the Spurcycle Compact is still built to last, and could very well be the last bell you ever buy! Its mounting foot is even narrower than the original (9mm vs 20mm). It comes in two sizes - 22.8mm and 31.8mm to fit mountain bike and flat handlebars. The striker is made of a composite nylon instead of the stainless steel and strikes the bell from the inside instead of the outside, avoiding strike marks that eventually develop on the original bell. It's also lighter - 28g versus the original's 45g - for your superlite carbon or Brompton bike where every gram counts. Spurcycle Compact Bell Simply the best and nicest sounding bell on the market!

Instructions are provided on the back of each bell box and available as a pdf. For more detailed instruction, see the bell install video. The most common error is when initially connecting the Band. Improper attachment prevents the bell from securely mounting and can lead to parts damage. How long will my bell last? Spurcycle bicycle bells include a promise to be the best now and forever. That means they guarantee them for the life of ownership. Should you ever find your bell isn't performing as expected or would like them to make it sparkle for you, you can just send it back to Spurcycle for a complete factory overhaul.How do I maintain my bell? Here are just a couple pointers on bell care. Each is built to ring far longer than any bell you've owned before. TIP 1: When the bells are assembled, they place a small amount of lubricant in the pivot. We've cycled the pivot tens of thousands of times, both dry and lubricated. The difference in wear is minor but just a drop of lube every year is a good idea. TIP 2: We use stainless steel for most of our bell parts, but the Hammer and Dome use materials chosen for sound quality that will turn color and patina over time. This process is faster in coastal regions and wet weather. If at any point you want to restore some brilliance to your bell, any gentle metal polish will quickly deliver results. We even like using carnauba car wax, which is very gentle but cleans nicely. TIP 3: Brass is a pretty soft metal. After impacting the Dome over a length of time, the Hammer can leave a little brass mark—more obvious on the black Domes. It's just a little surface deposit of brass and can be removed using a soft rag and metal polish to lightly buff out the spot. How do I get replacement parts? If something is missing in your bell life—perhaps the small or large metal band included with your bell—don't worry. We have more. Click here to visit our parts collection.
