Bell recommendations

I got my Knog Oi. You have to be careful tightening it up. Too tight, and it doesn't make much of a noise. It seems a bit loose, though. I'll see how it goes.

I was nearly tempted by one of these this week. A lovely sound but expensive for a bell.

I've one and they are very nice. Unobtrusive, easy to fit plenty of choice.

you beat me to it .... Crane Brass bell .... best sounding bell in the world and handmade in Japan .... they are class ...

there are a few models though so do your research (the brass ones sound the best)... when you ring it, people 'jump'

here's mine on my Surly:

interested. where would I see/hear one?
velovitality as I understand it are now just online.

Wow. That's some tone and can sustain it for quite a length of time. I'm impressed

SHOUTING usually suffices......profanities nearly always work......Feck the need for a bell....

Not so, judging by that video sound clip.
You can hear a similar sound sample on the Lion Bellworks website http://www.lionbellworks.co.uk

Using my Brompton in London I finally gave in and got one. The single ping ones just don't get heard in my experience so I went fro one of these http://www.decathlon.co.uk/540-bike-bell-id_8213934.html and it does the job

Mate had one of those which is now residing in the back of my car. He rattled it into pieces on the run down Snowdon

I have one of those on my commuting bike, except it ( the bell ) has a BIG smiley face on it instead - ! Has worked a treat - except those with 'head/earphone ' affliction, but that's another story - !

Love my Spur Cycle bell which I got off the original kickstarter for around £25. Unfortunately with the collapse in the value of the £ and a UK stockist the price now is£50/55.....ooouch! But still a great cycle bell.

Apparently, you can now buy a bell that "sounds like an angel playing a glockenspiel"

And I thought they just went:

ding?
