You could mount it backward and then fit a foam fairing around it so it has the same cross section from the bulb to the horn.

From cycling news :) This kid is just teasing everybody :) The funny thing is that I totally see him ringing Cav in a sprint to let him know he is passing, and i see cav saying... %$#^%$#^% wank,,,,!!!!! aswell :)

"Sagan's bell against crashes

Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) not only displays interesting victory salutes. The current wearer of the green jersey also relies on quite traditional bike components in order to prevent him from crashing. After having his chances annihilated by a fall in the finale of Thursday's stage five, the Slovakian asked his mechanic to mount a bell on his handlebar - indeed, an ordinary, black city bike bell. Let's hope it will get him upright through today's stage from Epernay to Metz. HK

OK, I find myself actually rooting for one of these guys now. Sporting a bell in the TdF, I hope he wins!

I can see it now becoming a political movement from within the peloton to protest all of those increasingly obnoxious media vehicles in the caravan. It's got to be annoying being in a race and constantly having vehicles honk at you at nearly run you off the road.

<sarcasm> i don't understand, shouldn't the bell be mounted on the drops so he can use it during sprints? </sarcasm>

refreshing to see this kid having so much fun with his talent!
real question though, will he start to focus his development work on time trialing and climbing so he can be considered a GC contender in years to come? he is young enough!! he will be a killer classics rider regardless!

Why is it that whenever a rider shows great talent, someone questions when or if he will work on becoming a GC rider no matter what type of rider they are?

Because at the end of the day, with the benefit of time, all we will remember are the GC winners. Peter Sagan at 22 and real good still have the opportunity to "train his weaknesses" and become more than a "sprinter".

All YOU will remember. Some of us have better memories and more diverse interests. I enjoy a classics race as much as any grand tour. You probably haven't heard of Brabantse Pjil. But you you probably ride a TREK.

Who said anything about a grand tour vs classics? I like all kinds of cycling, including even Keirin.

Can you off the top of your head tell me who won the TdF in 1991? Well, I can. For the life of me however, I can't tell you who was the top sprinter. That is my point.

And, for your info, I know what the Brabantse Pjil is.
