The MTB THREAD .....*Spring has Sprung, dust production March*
- Mountain Bikes – Handlebars generally come in two clamp sizes 25.4mm (older style) and the newer ‘oversized’ 31.8mm. On some bars there will be a bulge in the middle and the bars will thin out towards the brake levers. If you want to attach your bell here, then please make sure you measure as it could mean you move from a large sized bell to a small. For instance the grip area on some of these bars will be 22.2mm, whereas the bulge is 25.4mm.
- BMX – Always 22.2mm.
Tip :
- If your handlebar is any bigger than 22.2mm then you will need to choose the larger sized bell. The Larger Oi will come with shims that will allow you to attach the bell to bars 23.8, 25.4 and 26mm.
- If your handlebar in the middle looks 'normal sized', it's probably 25.4mm.
- If your handlebar looks overly big in the middle, it's probably 31.8mm

Dont want any workshop pics LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL DO NOT!
just plotted out a Strava route, 2-3 hours, new trails heading deep into the East backcountry, only downside it all relies on being able to cross a stream, which was a raging torrent last week, stepping stones all submersed, and not fancying a wet trainer -gate again. Hope its gone down with the scorchio week LOL
