FAQs
How do I attach the bell without tools?
The bell uses a simple, durable rubber band system. Select the right size band, loop it around the bell's mount, stretch it, and hook it onto the other side, securing it around your handlebar.
What size handlebars does this bell fit?
It is designed to fit most standard bicycle handlebars thanks to the flexible rubber band system and the inclusion of two different band sizes.
Is the sound loud enough for busy streets?
The bell produces a clear, distinct 'ping' sound intended to alert pedestrians and cyclists. While effective in many situations, its audibility can be reduced in very loud traffic environments compared to larger bells.
How do I clean the bell?
You can wipe the bell clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is included with the bell?
The package includes one System EX Ping Bell in black and two rubber mounting bands of different sizes.
Can this bell be used on e-bikes?
Yes, as long as the handlebar diameter is compatible with the rubber band mounting system, it can be used on e-bikes.
Troubleshooting
Bell does not stay securely mounted
Ensure you are using the correct size rubber band for your handlebar. Try the other included band. Make sure the band is fully stretched and hooked securely.
Sound is too quiet
Ensure the bell is positioned so the striker can move freely. Check that the bell's body is not obstructed by other handlebar accessories. The sound is designed to be a clear 'ping', which may be less audible than a loud 'ring' in very noisy environments.
Rubber band broke during installation
Use the second included rubber band. Handle the bands gently during installation, especially in cold weather when they can be more brittle.
