Spurcycle  Original Bike Bell - Black

There are so many good things to say about this little bell. It's manufactured with top notch workmanship, making for a great experience from unboxing, to installing it (which is quite simple really), to the first time you hear that amazing 'ding' sound it makes. It's clearly been well engineered to have an extremely efficient vibration, because it just keeps ringing, almost to the point where I want to stop it for fear of seeming rude to pedestrians as I pass them. I have the black one, mounted pointing forward on my road bike; despite some people's perceptions of putting a bell on a road bike, I think it looks fantastic, and not at all out of place. I decided to purchase the Spurcycle Bell (the most expensive bell you can get for a bike) because after all the effort and skill clearly put into the design and manufacture of this bell, it doesn't sit well with me to go purchase the RockBros Chinese knockoff version, as it's obvious they have blatantly copied the Spurcycle design, and sought to capitalise on someone else's work. (The wording on the Rockbros version packaging is copied verbatim from the Spurcycle box, besides a shameful typo). I'd rather pay the right people what it's worth than let someone else benefit for being cheaters. This is an expensive bell, especially the black version purchased in Australia, but its also the best bell you can possibly get for a road bike. Highly recommended. Save up and get this bell, you will not regret it!

Wanted to like this bell, it is marginally better than competitors in sound but not for the price. My primary disappointment was that it ruins carbon handlebars in a crash and you'll spend $25 if you need the bell repaired.
