In contrast to other bicycle bells, this bell has a startling loudness to it. So, care must be taken to apply the striker gently when closely passing joggers, walkers, skaters and other cyclists. Full strike loudness is a great option for warning folks of your approach from way back.
Just makes every pass on the left a bit more of an adventure! In this case a big adventure. A real converstion piece. You're going to make new friends whether you want em or not.

Product Description
Product Description: A timeless design with a loud and clear tone. The user can adjust loudness and sustain by how much travel one applied to the striker.
Comment from the WEB:
"This is a beautiful bell, and the final word when it comes to bicycle bells. As a Musicology major, I am very partial to sound and asthetic. The bell rings at a very loud clear tone (F6 on a piano keyboard, mine is almost bang on tune) and will resonate for upwards of 15 seconds with a solid strike.
This is a really phenominal piece of equipment, a true instrument. Given this as an option, why one would be compelled to purchase any other bell for their bicycle is beyond me."
Note: If you're looking for a similar bell that will clamp to the thicker (31.8 type) bars, please contact me! There is a new clamping design available.... I will hopefully have this different version on line soon!!
