Re: Metal ring around bell

You'd be OK to run some superglue into where the bell ring is to keep it from rattling or moving (as this can be cleaned up if you're having a new one fitted later on), but fitting a new one, or fixing and refiting your existing one does need a special collet used in a press to compress the ring tightly into the recess around the bell rim.
