As per title, want a bell for my commuter, needs to be nice looking, quite like the retro ones I’ve seen, but, I don’t want it to make noise unless I want it to. Ones I’ve use in the past used to rattle about.

Any recommendations?

King of ding 2? Got one that replaced the first king of ding after the spring broke. The sprung lever is many, many times better.

Got a crane bell for the wife for Christmas. Very loud “ting” and no rattling.

Good suggestions. have you used the stem spacer fit versions? Looks quite neat and keeps the bars less cluttered. Work okay?

Too slow, I was going to suggest king of ding 2 or Spurcycle. The PDW is good value compared to the spur cycle too. I have the bar mount one and it does look quite clunky on the bars, the stem mount is certainly neater”

+1 for the spurcycle bell.

Brass Japanese Soma Suzu bell; mine all from eBay – very clear and loud, look lovely when polished! Ebay item 321671870767.

Pashley ding dong bell is pretty good and ticks the retro box.

Interested in this thread as I need a bell. Which ones are best for oversize road bars?

I use Cateye ones on all 3 mountain bikes, too many people around here. They are great and never missed a ding

+2 Spurcycle

The BBB one is good.

I have a stem spacer bell – it’s fine

but

occasionally worried me that I might catch a knee on it (came close when standy-up climbing), so ended up mounting above the stem facing forwards – which looks a bit odd
