Troubleshooting

Bell has a dull sound or no sound

Check that the bell striker is hitting the bell cleanly. Ensure the bell is securely fastened and not obstructed. Verify that no dirt or debris is hindering the striker's movement.

Bell is loose on the lever

Tighten the mounting screws using the appropriate tool. If screws continue to loosen, consider using a thread-locking compound (use sparingly and check compatibility with your lever material).

Bell interferes with brake lever operation

Slightly adjust the position of the bell on the lever. Sometimes rotating the bell housing or repositioning the screws can resolve this. Ensure the bell is not mounted too far forward or back.
