Where to fix a Lion Bell?

[bonker]

I've decided I need a bell so, as I'm riding a steel fixed ( A Pearsons Cycles Now You See Me) I should get a good one, I opted for a Lion Bell.

The only thing is in all the pictures from the Lion Bell website the stem mount is on an old quill type, I have a threadless one. I didn't think the mount would work under the top cap so I went for the handlebar mount.

I know I could just put it over the bar tape and cable but I have nice Brooks handlebar tape on my bars that goes right up close to the stem ( I had to cut it back a bit just to get a light on).

I thought I'd just experiment when the bell arrives but does anyone have any ideas/ experience of this?

Not much help but I chose a headset spacer mounted bell so as not to clutter the bars any further..https://www.amazon.co.uk/Acor-Spacer-Bell-Black-Clamp/dp/B00HVCMY0Y

Thanks Arj,

I should have asked before I bought.

Could you fix it to the top tube if it's round? I got a spacer bell for my wife's threadless-headsetted bike too, which probably isn't what you wanted to hear...

your bar tape shouldn't come so close to the stem.

trim it back and problem solved, assuming you wrapped in the correct manner from ends to stem.
