Thinking of fitting a small but loud enuff bell to the bike to alert walkers n horses etc- fed up of shouting, and they don't always hear the Hope free hub lol.
Any recommendations to a tidy, small bell that can be fitted to the handlebars?
(The Spurcycle ones look great, but I'm not paying £45+ for a bloody bell)
LBS compulsory fitted bell is what I would fit. Ask nicely and it will probably cost you a pack of biscuits.

Do you take biscuits as currency in your line of work? I'm sure they'd prefer real money 
M:Part do a cheap black OS bell: £3.99 from your LBS.
nice idea but I still think walkers are going to freak out when you pass within 5 yards of them
I've gone over to a bear bell on my camelbak, just flip the magnet off when I'm in a busy area.
Definitely more effective than a ding ding bell on the bars as they hear it further away and don't startle as much, and as its a bit unusual they tend to make room for you.
I know people will say the noise is annoying.. But I normally can't hear it over my iPod anyway 😀

A halfway house between the spurcycle and the cheapo ones.
here you go... £1, yes, one whole pound!

it ding's when you ding it, and doesn't when you don't.
rats are trained to a bell so I think Humans should be clever enough to respond to a polite 'Scuse me' .... or a .... GET OUTTA THE F***** WAY im on a poss KOM here!!! 😆
I Don't personally use that devil Strava myself mind.
I like that bear bell, think that will be finding its way into my stocking this year.
Cheers for adviceses....and smart-arsed comments 😀
Whole point is having something that will allow walkers/ horsies to hear me coming 50ft away, not 5ft....
