Product Information
Full details
The CatEye OH-1200 is an ideal choice for urban cyclists and commuters seeking a reliable, audible signaling device that balances aesthetics with functionality. This brass-constructed bell delivers a crisp, clear 88.0dB sound to ensure you are heard in traffic, though its mounting system is strictly limited to specific handlebar diameters, making it unsuitable for oversized or aero-shaped bars.

FAQs
Will this fit a 31.8mm oversized handlebar?
No, the CatEye OH-1200 is only compatible with 22.2mm and 25.4mm handlebars.
Is the bell weather-resistant?
Yes, the brass construction is durable and resistant to common outdoor elements, though regular drying after rain will prolong the finish.
Does the bell come with installation tools?
The product includes the necessary components for mounting, but you will need a standard screwdriver to tighten the clamp bolt.
Can I mount this on the left or right side?
Yes, the bell is designed to be mounted on either side of the handlebar depending on your preference and hand reach.
How do I know if I need the liner?
Use the included liner if your handlebars are 22.2mm in diameter; leave the liner out if your handlebars are 25.4mm.
Troubleshooting
Bell sound is muffled or dull
Ensure the striker is not touching the bell housing at rest and that the mounting screw is securely tightened.
Bell slips on the handlebar
Re-check that you are using the correct liner for your handlebar diameter and verify the clamp bolt is tightened fully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the OH-1200, ensure your handlebar diameter is either 22.2mm or 25.4mm. For 22.2mm bars, insert the included liner inside the clamp before tightening the screw. Secure the bell in a position where the striker can be easily reached with your thumb while maintaining a firm grip on the handlebars. To maintain the finish and sound clarity, keep the bell dry and wipe it down with a soft, clean cloth occasionally. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may tarnish the brass.
