Reviews over the

CloseTheGap HideMyBell Regular3 Mantel Edition

Bought one for a second bike as well. Easy to mount the garmin and a good loud bell without taking up space on the handlebars themselves.

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do

Pros & Cons

Very nice combination of bike bell and GPS holder. Robust, sturdy and clear bell

Pros & Cons

Nice bell that doesn't stand out but works well.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful product

Pros & Cons

Good mount for my Wahoo on the bike including a good audible bell. Position of the bike computer is nice at the front of the bike and insertion/removal is easy, but feels sturdy.

Pros & Cons

Excellent product. My second already in 5 years.

Pros & Cons

I first had an older version, but have put this edition on my new bike. The bell lever is more practical and the bell much louder. Only in wet weather does it sometimes not sound as loud. Needless to say, the GPS holder also works perfectly.

Pros & Cons

The concept is nice and as a mount it works fine, but the bell is not suitable for people who also ride in worse conditions. It has already broken down on two different versions.

Pros & Cons

After years of the original Hide My bell, I have now purchased this second version. And as far as I am concerned, not really an improvement. Whereas the first one stopped ringing in freezing temperatures, this second version has problems in humidity or cold (5°c). I don't really understand all the very positive reviews....

Pros & Cons

Top idea, execution not perfect. Materials feel a bit cheap and plastic. Fine ringing sound and use of the bell is also top. When changing adapters, you also have to unscrew the bell because the nuts at the bottom are loose and therefore fall into the bell.

Pros & Cons

Very quick delivery, easy to assemble, fits perfectly, garmin fits perfectly

Pros & Cons

Old one broke down, addition bell is super

Pros & Cons

Top good quality and sturdy

Pros & Cons

Completely in line with expectations

Pros & Cons

I was looking for a bell for my bike but with the current hangers it's difficult, the Hydemybell is a very good compromise!

Fits well on the handlebars and the garmin is secure. You do have one hand free from the handlebars to call

Pros & Cons

Good idea, poor execution. Wonder how many of the people with positive reviews will have their bell still ringing after a year....

Pros & Cons

Everything is fine!

Good product if you don't need to ring much. After 1 ride, though over bumpy terrain, the bell was broken

Pros & Cons

clearly this is the best choice for cyclists not riding in a pro peloton. you will have to make a call anyway, then this is an excellent choice. not too loud and not too soft

Pros & Cons

Nice system and still have a bell on my bike

Pros & Cons

A long drive with bumpy lanes leaves the mount lowered after still tightening it firmly but not wanting to break down.

Pros & Cons

Belts well and garmin fits in well

Pros & Cons

Good and solid holder with a clear bike bell. Fast delivery.

This second version is much better than the first. The Garmin sits securely and does not rattle at all (this was the case with the first version). Bell is loud and clear.

Pros & Cons

Very happy with this purchase. A good way to have a bell along. Min ou t for the right-handed among us, though, is that the controls are on the left

Pros & Cons

After 1 ride, I could not dial by pulling it. Pushing it worked though! Opened the bell and had to bend the clapper until it rang properly.

Pros & Cons

ideal handlebar holder with both bell and mount for Garmin and/or Ravemen light

Pros & Cons

Clear bell, easy mounting. Handlebar looks nice and tidy.

Pros & Cons

Fully meets expectations

Pros & Cons

It meets my expectations

Pros & Cons

The garmin edge fits perfectly and it looks good

Pros & Cons

Really impressed with loud compact bell. Will buy another for winter bike.

Pros & Cons

Well-concealed bell and powerful sound. I hope that the attachment to the level will be solid. Super practical item

Great product

Pros & Cons

On all fronts, the HideMyBell functions for what it is intended.

Pros & Cons

Nice and compact,,2 in 1 on handlebars

Pros & Cons

Clear clear sound, easy to hear, easy to operate even without a Garmin device, the bell works

Pros & Cons

Works perfectly, loud and clear. No extra ugly bell on the bike. Good quality

Pros & Cons

Nicely concealed bell. Cool though quickly faulty and bare little sound. Not much use for it then.

Pros & Cons

Decent on the road bike. A great product

satisfies perfectly and saves a bell on your handlebars

Pros & Cons

Exactly what I expected, with and without a computer functional and beautiful

Pros & Cons

Fine holder but the clamp for around the handlebar is very tight on me

Pros & Cons

Good gps holder, my garmin clicks in well and hasn't come off unintentionally yet. You can hardly see the bell and it makes good sound.

Pros & Cons

Sits firmly on the handlebars does not vibrate

Pros & Cons

Bel is echt veel beter dan mijn losse BBB bel. Strakke veer met duidelijk geluid. Stuur nu lekker opgeruimd dus dik tevreden

Pros & Cons

Looks nice and fine holder for Garmin. However the lever for the bell breaks down quickly, after a few times not easy to operate, I now have to put quite force to get sound out. Not useful if you want to call someone quickly.

Pros & Cons

Previous versions of this holder had a much better bell.

Pros & Cons

After I tightened the socket bolt a further turn after the first ride, the holder sat neatly and firmly on the handlebars. Turning the navigation on takes some getting used to, but after a few times it goes smoothly. The Navi sits a bit looser on the holder than I was used to, but despite bumpy cobblestone roads it stays nicely in place. Be careful with pressing the side buttons, because before you know it your navigation is on the street. (You twist it right off). Bell I easy to find and clearly audible. At least those cyclists won't just move aside. ;)

Pros & Cons

Easy mounting, solid anchoring for GPS (Garmin) Clear and distinct ring tone. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

The navigation holder largely looks like the original from Garmin that came with my Edge 530. However, this one obviously has the hidden bike bell, and I did like the blue color of the holder (part where you click the navigation in) to match the caps of my front fork on my bike. Other than that, it's just a good holder. I did find that the rubber on the part where you screw it onto the handlebar was minimal. There is only 1 small piece of rubber for anti-slip and handlebar protection. The rest of the holder is just bare plastic. I didn't find this sufficient so I added another thin layer of anti-slip material in between. This way the holder stays in place even better and my handlebars are protected from scratches. For the money you pay for this holder, I expected more at this point.

Pros & Cons

Seats well, does not vibrate

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach. Bell is easy to use even with gloves on. I do find it pricey for what it is.

Pros & Cons

Hide my Bell is exactly what t says Hide my bell, nice that multiple different bike computers fit on hmb

The previous original hidemybell had the controls on the right side so ringing and braking was not very convenient.Fortunately, the block for the bulb attachment from the previous one just fit there now o

Pros & Cons

My previous HideMyBell of several years old already, the plastic hinge had broken off....

Pros & Cons

After the first one unfortunately broke off on the hinge I got a new one Assembly is better because the socket screw is now at the top Unfortunately there is no rubber that could damage the handlebar Placing the garmin nav is just fine

Pros & Cons

Is sturdy Garmin sits tight in it does not rattle, sound is quite softer than the previous one so you are less audible.

Pros & Cons

Easy to attach to the handlebar and by kink nice and straight in the middle for your

Pros & Cons

Better than its predecessor with a plastic tab that quickly became lame

Pros & Cons

Fully met the expectations.

Pros & Cons

After a few long rides. The garmin gps is very well fixed, it doesn't move at all. Exactly like the original garmin one. The bell is perfectly audible. Much better than the Knog bell.

Pros & Cons

I love these solutions: bell and Wahoo-Holder in one. Sound is clear and operation is ideal. Saves space because you don't have to mount a separate bell. Fits perfectly on normal road bike handlebars (thinner handlebars you have to arrange a suitable adapter for yourself). Mantel branding looks great with my own bike with blue accents, then that extra benefit is nice. Very satisfied, 9/10 would recommend.

Pros & Cons

Good quality. The bell works well and is easier to operate (pull lever) than the previous series (which had a classic bell). It is a lock nut to secure the bracket so it does not come off during e.g. cobblestones.

Pros & Cons

I will still give it the benefit of the doubt and order a new one. I mounted the previous one last August, but the arm broke at the level of the screw. Fortunately seen in time and the Garmin did not fall off.

Great holder for my Garmin, does what it needs to do and bell works well

Pros & Cons

Super idée. Looks good too. However, already the third one in 2 years. Broke off again after half a year. Result: Garmin on the ground....

Pros & Cons

not too heavy, garmin fits nicely

Pros & Cons

Bell nicely concealed and assembly very user-friendly

Pros & Cons

I expected much more from this. Considering the price and laudatory description. Almost no sound. Tried several ways of operation

Pros & Cons

Very practical! The cockpit is very tidy and everything is in one place. With the additionally available GoPro Mount I have a lamp attached to the holder. This sits very stable. The bell is easy to use and has a good sound. The bike computer sits very well in the holder and does not wobble.

Pros & Cons

Unlike the original Garmin mount give rubber between the handlebar mount which makes attaching to a carbon handlebar difficult.

Pros & Cons

nice product, however I had to look for an attachment myself to mount the adaptor on my bike handlebars as the diameter did not match

Pros & Cons

Since the previous HideMyBell had become "lame," I ordered a new one just after servicing my bike. This Mantel Edition is attractive because it is cheaper than the normal one. The delivery was, as we are used to from Mantel, very fast and the assembly was very easy.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount and great replacement for the original Garmin mount.

Pros & Cons

The product meets my expectations 100%. On the MTB the bell (however small) was in the way, on the handlebars. That is now a thing of the past. The holder is sturdy and easy to attach. Changing the blue interior (for the Wahoo Bold) was easy. The bell is not loud but can be heard well.

Pros & Cons

Since I was always fumbling with my bike bell on the handlebar stem, I wanted to try something different. This led me to this handlebar mount with bell. Assembly went relatively smoothly, but a manual would make it easier to quickly convert the adapter from Wahoo to Garmin. The bell has to be removed completely to access the bolts under the adapter. Other than that, the bell is loud enough, but not extremely loud. The mount is sturdy.

Pros & Cons

Functions well. Getting used to operating with left hand
