Crane Suzu Mini Bell for mounting above headset The Crane “Suzu Mini” is a vintage-looking bike bell with a curved lever hammer. Made in Japan The dome comes in Brass or Aluminum alloy options. The ring of a brass bell resonates longer vs other materials. Natural brass patinas over time and develops character. Our color-finished brass and our aluminum bells will keep their original appearance for a longer time than natural brass. The dome on the Suzu Mini is 45mm wide Spring-loaded curved lever hammer makes a single ring per strike, but it is easy for user to activate in succession to make a “ding-ding” sound Mounting spacer is lightweight aluminum. Versions with Brass Domes: Polished brass, Neo-Black, copper, chrome-plated; Versions with Aluminum Domes: Alloy or Polished Alloy(silver), Price varies with finish/material. Choose finish to reveal actual price. Only accept product in Crane packaging to avoid counterfeits. Installation: Requires intermediate bike mechanic skills. The bike’s handlebar stem needs to be removed from the steering column of the bike to install this bell. You need to be able reset the preload adjustment of the headset when re-installing stem onto the steering column. (Crane also makes Suzu Mini’s that mount to handlebars)
SUZU MINI BRASS BELL: Retro, vintage premium bicycle bell with curved lever striker. The BRASS model has a 45mm wide polished dome of brass with a copper plated finish. It will patina with age.
MOUNTS TO STEERING COLUMN: This version of the Suzu Mini installs on the steering column of your bike under the stem. It replaces a 10mm headset spacer. Not for bikes that do not have headset spacers( i.e. quill stems).
BEAUTIFUL, RESONANT SOUND: Brass or aluminum alloy dome-shaped bell for a bright and pleasant ring. The ring of a brass bell resonates longer vs other materials. Crane Bell knows the pleasantness of the ring should come second to safety and loudness, but we choose to make BOTH a priority.
PREMIUM JAPANESE BELL: Crane Bell Co. Ltd is bringing beautiful Japanese craftsmanship to your bike! We didn’t compromise quality on any part of this bell. Our bicycle bells are truly unique and for bikers who care about the little things.
BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE DESIGN: Looks elegant and smart on city bikes and traditional road bikes. Metal construction is much more durable than bells with plastic mounts and hammers. Smaller, more aesthetically pleasing to the ears than a bike horn.
Not many bells that can be installed in a way like this can. Easy to access while hands are still on the bars and leaves room on them for other things. The design is beautiful, although kind of wish the spacer was black as well to match the black bell and the other spacers on the bike. The sound is pleasant, crisp and loud enough to get most people’s attention. There will always be a few who have headphones on or just plain not aware of their surroundings and won’t move unless you’re using a cruise ship foghorn.Strong, clear ring. Looks OK on the stem of my steel gravel/touring bike though would be nice if there was an option for a black spacer in addition to silver. Much louder and more mechanically robust than the Knog Oi on my carbon road bike. Gets the pedestrians' attention when riding the bike paths or fire roads.I had looked at all the headset mounted bells I could find, this one is the best! Louder, more musical and great quality. I’m sure it will last me a long time and it’s the perfect option for a headset mounted bellThe fact that it is installed as a stem spacer, frees up some room on the handlebar. Which is really a good perk. And the first time I rang the bell on a group ride, they were like "Wow.. What is that?? nice sound." It's loud, but it rings nicely. Worth the premium price you pay for, or more. Good Japanese product.
