    You don't need a bell if you've got a Hope rear hub/freewheel! :wink:

    Removed the wheel reflectors. Bell was removed as soon as I got bike, if someone rang the bell when approaching me I would think who the feck do you think you are. I would expect a cyclist to do what I do, see hazard and slow down and from distance make a subtle noise. Once moving hazard has turned around then approach and say thanks or a quick 'god knows why I do this' if climbing.
    .
    Well if you aint got the balls take off the bell. :)

    Remove:
    -Bells
    -All reflectors
    -Dork donut

    all look horrible & have no function on a mtb
