Bike Bell

For a cheap bell, this is very nice. It’s a perfect and stylish addition to a classically styled or vintage bike. I bought one for my wife and liked it so much I bought a second for my new bike build. The installation is a bit fiddly, just take your time. I was concerned about the metal attaching strap scratching my handlebar but it includes a thick rubber strip that you can wrap around the bar before installing. Best advice is to pre-bend the strap a bit to fit your handlebar. Hold the strap from below the bar with one hand and slide the bell into place with the other hand. The trick is getting the ends of the strap to go into two small slots under the bell. Fiddle with it for a minute and you’ll see how it goes together. The screw on top pushes the inside of the bell down against the bar and takes up slack in the strap. Use the included hex wrench to tighten carefully. Ding the bell several times as you tighten - at some point you will over-tighten it and it won’t ring clearly- then just back off a bit. The tone of the bell is loud, clear and long. Quite a lovely sound for a little bell. Perfect for riding trails with pedestrians to give notice of your approach.

This appears to be a copy of the excellent spurcycle bell, but at one fourth the cost. However it is poorly made the spring hinge does not stay fully engaged. Therefore the clapper does not stand back from the bell after striking it, and the result is that it sounds like you rang it with your hand muting the bell. Sometimes it works OK, but most of the time it does not. This bell has poor build quality and it is very difficult to install.

This is a detailed review. I am able to compare this bell to the more expensive variety, that I also own. While I haven't gone biking with the bell yet, I anticipate it will work similar to the more expensive variety. The bell is good and loud and somewhat shrill. But it will do the trick of warning people to get out of the way!. Installation. Many have commented that there are no instructions. Correct. That's why I dinged this one star. However, there is a video that should be quite helpful. It took me about 10 minutes to get this done. I had to use the longer band for my handlebar. To reduce the anxiety of installation, I reco to insert one end of the band into the bell before you start. Position the bell on the handlebar such that you can see the other insertion point for the band. Holding the bell in place, wrap the band around the handlebar and squeeze/push the open end-ended band into the other insertion point. The bell should be fitting loosely but is stably attached to the handlebar. At ths point I applied the silicone strip to the handlebar. I only used half the length for 2 reasons. First, If I used all of it, it became difficult to slide the bell over the strip. Second, you don't need much to protect the handlebar from the band that is in contact. With this in mind, I was able to slide the bell over the strip. After tightening the bell, I got a nice ring from the hammer. However, I noticed that with repeated use, the hammer would not strike the bell. It appeared the hammer spring was the problem. A little WD40 fixed this nicely. The sound is quite similar to the more expensive variety. Net, this RockBros bell is quite nice with a loud ring. The lack of instructions is unfortunate but not a show stopper. You might need some WD40 to get the hammer to strike the bell all the time. As you're spending 15-25% of the cost of the original model, this a V Good Deal indeed!

This bell is nearly identical to the Spurcycle bell in so many ways. It mounts exactly the same way as well, so if you have issues installing it, a quick YouTube search for the brand name item will be of use. I work at a bike shop, & have wanted a Spurcycle bell for some time, but even with my discount, it's more than I wanted to spend on a bell. The Rock Bros bell is a fraction of the cost of the original, & that is apparent only in terms of sound quality, & probably only noticeable to real stickers, or musicians. I happen to be the latter. This bell has a trashier sounding ping with a much faster decay than the Spurcycle, whereas the original rings clearly & sustains way longer than it needs to. Basically, this is a bike bell & the original is a musical instrument with a handlebar mount. Aside from comparison, this is a great bell, especially for the price. It looks good, functions easily & is, most importantly, loud enough to be heard well in traffic. Quick tip: make sure it's installed with the proper tension, too loose & it'll be muted.

I like these bells. (We have 3, one of which is the version 2 of these bells, and I'm about to order one more.) The version 2 has a smaller and slightly quieter bell, but it's still loud enough. I like how they're made with metal and some rubber bumpers. Though they're hard to install, the set up allows these to fit in tight spaces between handlebars and gear/brake levers, which is a nice feature that few other bells have. The only other one I've seen (and also have) that gets close to fitting in as tight of spots uses a rubber ring to attach the bell, but you can't get the fit as tight, so it rotates a bit, and it's very easy to steal. No tools required! The sound of the bell isn't as pretty as some, but that slight harshness also makes the bell more effective at getting people's attention, which I like. I didn't get this bell to perform in an orchestra.

I wanted something small that i could use to let people know when I'm riding up behind them. this is perfect. it's just loud enough and is a pleasant ring that seems 'friendly'. It's a bit tricky to mount (mostly because I didn't ask for help). Once it's mounted, it stays in place and is easy to use.

I have a large handlebar gravel bike and was struggling to find a bell that fit. This one fits using the larger metal piece (comes with one large and one small). Install was medium difficulty using instructions on the listing. No instructions come in the box. Medium difficulty install because it was tedious - metal band difficult to bend and you have to center it perfectly on this rubber adhesive strip they send with the bell to keep it from marring your handle bars. Sound of the bell isn’t pleasant. I used to have a more classic bell with a charming friendly ring. This one is loud but also quite shrill. I’ll probably scare people out of the way on mixed use trails. J/K… kinda’… :) I included a video for reference. Once installed it is quite stable. Be sure not to over tighten it, or it could dampen the bell ring. You have to install it to really hear it properly. For the cost, it does the job and looks decent. I like that it’s small. Wish the Knog OI bell fit my bars better and felt higher quality. This one seems like it will last a lot longer than the Knog but only time will tell.
