I want to warn you folks not to buy Bell bicycle accessories.
Today I got a flat tire *twice*. Both times the inner tube was a brand-new Bell, the kind with goo
inside. Contrary to what is claimed on the packaging, all the slime does is squirt out the hole in
your inner tube and all over your face when you try to look at it, and it doesn't seal.
I have purchased other Bell products over the years. Anything battery-operated, such as a light or a
speedometer that I buyed, can't be counted on to last more than a week before it breaks, even with
fresh batteries. I once purchaed a Bell rack whose straps broke the first time I tried to use it.
The only Bell stuff I have that's held up adequately are brakes and a pouch, which are two things
that usually won't be defective unless you try very hard. I suspect that the only reason the brakes
and the pouch have lasted are that the Bell geniuses are utterly incapable of trying very hard.
Luckily there's a real bike store in my county that sells other brands, as opposed to that Bell ****
K-Mart carries.
