bells that work well in the rain

[united4ever]

Anyone know any, mine is rubbish when it gets wet - need something louder.

What are you currently using? Some (some Adie and Widek for sure) benefit from being mounted at a slight tilt to assist drainage out of a hole on the far side.

Temple bells like Crane and Lion are mostly unable to fill up with water unless you mount them with the dome upside-down (why would you?), but aren't the most recognisable as bike bells IMO.

One of these works for me. You can listen to it online to see if you like the sound.

Large quantities of this'll make you loud:

A polite and moderate voice works in all weathers, and is still easily operated in even the thickest of gloves or whilst making other manoeuvres or indications with the hands.

And if they still don't move aside...

FTFY.

My voice isn't loud/high enough to be heard over motor traffic from far enough away not to startle people or be accused of sneaking up on them, whereas a bell is.
