FAQs
What is the "Wave-Tek" hammer technology?
The "Wave-Tek" is Knog's proprietary hammer design that strikes the bell in a specific way to create a more consistent tone and slightly enhance the volume, while also being durable.
What are the different sizes available and how do I choose?
The Oi Prima comes in Small (for 22.2mm handlebars) and Large (for 23.8-31.8mm handlebars). Consult the Knog size guide or measure your handlebar diameter to select the correct fit.
Do I need extra parts to fit the Large size bell?
The Large size bells come with shims and spacers included to help you achieve a perfect and secure fit on a variety of handlebar diameters within its range.
How loud is the Oi Prima bell?
The Oi Prima is designed to provide a clear and audible tone for alerting pedestrians and other cyclists. While it aims for a balance of volume and pleasant sound, it is not intended to be as loud as heavy-duty industrial bells.
Can I use this bell on electric bikes or mountain bikes?
Yes, as long as your handlebar diameter matches the specifications for either the Small or Large Oi Prima bell. The bell is designed to be robust enough for various cycling types.
How do I maintain the bell's sound quality?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will keep the bell looking good. Ensure the hammer mechanism is free of debris. The design is intended to maintain its tone over time with normal use.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the bell is securely tightened to the handlebar. Check that the hammer mechanism is not obstructed. Verify the correct size bell is being used for your handlebar diameter.

Re-tighten the clamp screw using the hex key. If using a Large size bell, ensure shims are correctly installed and providing a snug fit.
