Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the 'Wave-Tek' hammer technology?

'Wave-Tek' is Knog's proprietary hammer design that creates a more consistent and pleasant bell tone, optimized for sound quality and longevity.

How do I know which size bell to buy?

Measure your handlebar's diameter where you intend to mount the bell. The Small size fits 22.2mm bars, and the Large size fits 23.8mm to 31.8mm bars. Shims are included with the Large size for optimal fit.

Does the bell interfere with handlebar cables?

No, the Oi Prima Bell features a thoughtful design with integrated cable management to help keep cables tidy and out of the way.

How is the tone of the Oi Prima Bell described?

It is described as a beautiful, clear tone that is loud enough for safety but pleasant to the ear, often compared to a glockenspiel.

What materials is the bell made from?

The bell is constructed with premium materials and a robust spring design to ensure durability and long-lasting performance.

What comes in the box?

The box includes the Oi Prima Bell, a hex key for installation, and shims/spacers for the perfect bar fit on Large size bells.

Can I mount this bell on aero or flat handlebars?

The Oi Prima Bell is designed primarily for standard round handlebars. Mounting on significantly different bar shapes may not be possible or secure.

Troubleshooting

Bell produces a dull or weak sound

Ensure the 'Wave-Tek' hammer is unobstructed and striking the bell body correctly. Check for any debris in the mechanism. The clamp may also be too loose, causing vibration to dampen the sound; tighten slightly.

Bell does not ring when lever is pressed

Verify that the clamp is securely fastened to the handlebar. If the clamp is loose, the lever mechanism may not engage properly. Check that the internal spring mechanism is not obstructed.

Bell rattles during riding

The clamp is likely not tight enough. Use the provided hex key to tighten the clamp securely onto the handlebar. If using the Large size, ensure the correct shims are installed and the fit is snug.

Difficulty fitting the bell to the handlebar

Double-check your handlebar's diameter against the specified ranges for the Small and Large sizes. For the Large size, experiment with the different included shims to achieve the best fit.
