The bell sounded and behaved as described and as most ratings agreed to. I was most impressed with how long the tone lasted and was audible.
It's nice to have something made in america that serves a very utilitarian purpose. I got a few to replace the Chinese knock-offs I'd gotten off Amazon. They ring ok at first, but all have gone bad over time. These bells have a great finish, great tone, and help with trail safety. Are a little ridiculously priced, but there is no other US equivalent.
I have tried them all and concluded anything small is insufficiently loud to be heard. This one is different. I mounted facing forwards to minimize drag, despite it being tiny, and it can be heard from a distance. Brilliant!
Sold my motorcycle to build up a monster cross bike. I hand picked every component with care. I had heard and seen one in person on ragbrai. Beautifully machined. Nice distinct tone that carries very well. There are cheap knock-offs, but I�m happy to support American manufacturing.
This is the best bell you can buy, very much worth the extra $$. Don't get sucked into buying one of the knock-offs on the market. Easy to install, small and unobtrusive on your bars, great sound. Highly recommend.
Paid higher price for the real deal. Very happy. The bell rings loud and clear for a courteous heads up on the trail.
Have one for my road bike and my wifes mountain bike.
Thank you
You could easily spend under $10.00 for a generic bike bell, but I think the premium is worth it given the uniquely pretty ring. The durable fit & finish will guarantee this product will last and not corrode.
Definitely a buy it for life type of bell.
The quality and sound of this bell are second to none. Love the size also, just seems to disappear on my bike.
Bought the cheap china knock off on amazon that sounded like trash and broke litterally a few minutes after getting it. Bit the bullet and spent on this.
Looks beautiful
Sounds rich and loud
Feels sturdy and great quality.
You wont be disappointed
Ive received many compliments on the clear, distinct and loud chime. Worth the price.
Expensive but...so was my bike. This really is a n ice bell with a concert hall ring tone. Easy to install, fits the 38mm bar and come in black for those who prefer the current fad color. The tone is what sold me and it's even better when actually on the bike. My four star rating on value is because of the extra charge for black.
Solid and easy to mount. Very small but loud. Highly recommended
Love this bell! Low profile on the bike, but a nice loud sound that resonates for like 20 seconds and gets peoples attention. A very solid and well made product. Easy and secure installation. It is a little expensive, but well worth it for the coolest bicycle bell ever made. I've had it on my wish list for a couple of years and finally bought it. I'm very glad I bought it.
I upgraded to this bell, as my previous bell was not reliable. This bell is solidly built and rings loud. The sound of the bell does not disappear immediately. It tapers off, so folks on the trails can hear it as you approach them from behind. It costs more than most bells, but is well worth the cost.
And the tone lasts forever!
I bought the Chris King edition with the red striker. It is really cool looking. The bell design and construction are very solid. The mounting is clean and very solid. The bell has a long, resonating tone that draws attention, but is very nice. May seem expensive to some for what it is, but it is top notch.
The perfect size bell. Small with a loud ding-a-ling.
if you want to get someones attention ring your bell its tone is not scarcy but attracts your attention.
Bought the Chris King edition. A lot of money to pay for a simple bell but it is a high quality build. Mounting system is solid. Very attractive design looks good on my bike. Has a nice sustained tone. I like it.
I purchased this bell. It is loud and has a non-annoying sound. It makes people smile.
