Are Spacers for Bell Mounts Interchangeable?
Greetings, friends! I have been reading the forum for some time but never signed up and posted myself, so this is my first post, and it's a pretty obscure one:
I would like to put a Crane Suzu Mini Headset Bell on my stem, but their spacers only come in silver and my spacers are all black. What I'm thinking to do is to also buy a (cheaper) Dimension Headset Spacer Bell (with black spacer) and switch out their spacers, then put the Dimension with the silver spacer on another bike. The question is: Will these spacer mounts be interchangeable without any problems? If so, I'll go for it! Thanks in advance for your help, and I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well in these difficult times, Seth |
Hi VirginiaWH, thanks for asking -- you're the first to reply, but I can say that I (with tremendous efficiency) convinced myself to go ahead and purchase both and then see what happens. But I'd still be very interested in what anyone has to say about it! Either way it'll be good to have some input/guidance, no doubt.

Every modern bell that I have tried uses a standard M5 thread.

Thanks, aggiegrads -- I ordered both, thinking this would probably be the case. I hope that the attachment shapes are similar enough that the spacer mounts are interchangeable!

Just as a quick update: I ended up ordering both the Dimension (black spacer) and the Crane (silver spacer) bell, they're night and day in terms of build quality and sound quality, but aggiegrads was right that the spacers were interchangeable, and the Dimension one seems good enough, anyway. So it worked out. Thanks all for your help!

I am looking for a good bell but have found some crazy variation in sound. |

The more expensive one had better sound, I assume?
I am looking for a good bell but have found some crazy variation in sound. clear high pitched ring that continues for a long time. small size, usa sourced and made, and simple to both mount and operate. |
