Bell
It’s no secret that the key to any successful relationship is high quality, and frequent, communication. Bike trails and roads are no different, as they host multiple user groups — cyclists, runners, hikers, equestrians, etc., and who wants to risk accidents or trail access issues? Use of a quality bell can easily help you avoid unwanted conflict.
Engineered from the ground up to be the best possible bell, the Spurcycle Bell has re-established the bar for bells. It is crafted from premium brass and stainless steel in the good ‘ol USA. This durable bell has a distinctive, yet pleasant tone that resonates up to three times as long as most bells — an extended period whose effects are immeasurable while navigating crowded pedestrian malls or approaching blind corners or driveways.

loud and low profile

This is a great bell. It's loud enough that most people wearing headphones notice, and it's smaller than many other larger, quieter bells. It can be challenging to slot the attachment piece inside of the bell, but it's very secure once it's attached. I would recommend getting a thin rubber strip to go between the handle bar and the bell's metal attachment piece. It could scratch the handle bars, and for me, it can get dampened by the handle bar grips.

I saw one of these at a local store and wanted to get a dark one with the green button. When it arrived I saw how well designed it was and when mounted it emits a very distinct sound that can be heard by the folks on the bike path who are normally oblivious to the outside world. Very well made and the fit and finish is superb. I now have 4 of these bells for various bikes and just love them. I took advantage of a limited time discount which made the bell even better. The nice thing about the sound is that when you are coming up behind someone, the distinct sound lets them know something is coming. I would highly recommend this product. thanks for keeping them in stock.

Ridiculously good

I loved my old bell, I thought the ring was clear and loud and then it fell apart and was replaced by this Spurcycle bell. Holy Cow!! I didn't know what clear and loud was until now! This thing gives off the clearest, long resonating, loud ring I think I've ever heard outside of cathedral bells. One pull of the trigger and it just sings forever. At first I wasn't sure if it was a good thing. I like bells on the trail because they sound way more polite than shouting "RIDER" at the top of your lungs to address the person walking their dog with noise cancelling headphones on. This thing is startlingly loud and yet cheerful sounding. The mount is also very secure although I put a stip of inner tube in between the metal strap and my carbon bars. It's also good to know that it will even go around a 35mm bar if you need/want to place it near the clamping area instead of near the grips. I have mine right above my dropper lever though. Looking forward to more alerted trail users on my rides going forward!

Expensive, yes. Does what it is designed to do exceptionally well, yes. Light, clean & unobtrusive install in the cockpit while being easy to use, yes. High quality materials, durable, easy to install unless you are not very good with tools or "digitally challenged". These are awesome, I have four of them one each for my road and gravel bikes and for my wife's. My first is on my road bike and has 5 years and over 40,000 miles of riding on it through all manner of conditions. In my view it is simply perfect for bike trail, multi-use trail, and road riding. No, it will not cut through intense urban traffic noise, for which you would need a bloody air horn anyway, but for everything else is get the job done very nicely and as others have stated the tone and duration is highly effective without being irritating. I use it for passing other cyclists, warning runners and pedestrians, and signaling my approach to blind corners. As others have also said it will also cut through most earbud users who are oblivious to the world around them though not so effective on over-ear noise cancelling ear muff users. Highly recommended.

Bell is loud, annoying, and rings for a long time. Well designed, both the silver and the black look great on our Yeti?s

Loud and resonating. It does it's job to alert other bikers, hikers and more importantly horses that share the trail. I once came up on some horse back riders a little fast and realized after talking to them that the rider and horse could get seriously hurt by a mountain bike coming up on them with no warning. This bell does a great job

Great bell, but not for aero bars

I enjoyed this bell for several years until I upgraded my bike to something with an aero cockpit. There is no way to mount this on anything but standard round bars. Reading many of the reviews here it's easy to see that the bell is great it's just that the mount is often not useful in many situations. I've contacted the manufacturer and they have no way to mount the bell other than what they provide. That's a real pity since alternative mounting solutions would be easy to develop and provide even an additional cost.

awesome bell

very nice, and sleek bell. the tone sounds great and lasts for a while before it quiets down. horseback riders appreciate it very much. my only complaint is how it mounts. my grips were to fat and bars to thin. in finally ended up stripping down an old tube and wrapping my bar next to my grip which ended up working fine. there was trial and error in figuring this out though
