I bought this for my Rivendell Roadeo with a threaded headset. Swapped right in replacing the 10mm spacer I had in there already, and it fit and looks great. The part came with some hardware just in case, but my spring bell had compatible threads and I just unscrewed it from the steel mount and screwed it back onto the spacer mount instead. Perfect!

great for mounting a unique bell on a drop bar bike. Frees up the top of the bars for bags and lights.

Mounts to the VO Temple Bell if you take your time and are not heavy handed, even though the bell and screw threads are not totally compatible. Use a little Phil oil or grease. Set the clearance for the striker with the supplied washers. Apply a drop of thread locker to the bell mount threads . If you are using head set spacers you may need to remove one or two to have enough threads for the headset locknut and a break cable hanger. Looks good next to my Nitto stem and is out of the way. A bit fiddly but recommended just the same.

Spacer Bell Mount

I was excited to try out this mount on my Rivendell with my brand new Crane Karen spring strike bell. It seemed simple enough. Unscrew the Crane bell from the factory mount and screw it into the Velo Orange mount. The issue that I ran into was that the VO mount threading destroyed the post threading on my Crane bell. It nearly got stuck, but after much finagling I was able to free the bell and was able to screw it back into the factory mount with the last few available threads that were not damaged. Not enough material was left in order to simply use a tap and re-thread the aluminum post, it was totally destroyed. Thankfully I was able to put the bell back on its factory mount, I had to remove a washer in order to use those last couple of good threads. We will see if it holds, sofar so good. Not sure if the TPI was different or not, it did seem to be a little tight when screwing it in but certainly not overly so. I would advise using a dab of grease and to go slow and gentle for anyone trying to use this mount with a Crane bell. It would be nice for some compatibility notes to be added to this item in the description if possible.
