I have that bell, it makes a beautiful sound. It's not quite loud enough, but it's real problem is that its spring is the only thing holding the striker on, and that gets bent out of shape way too easily.

Plus it was way too expensive for being a bell...

Hi! I wrote the post. I agree. I got a $3 bell later (kinda like a hamburger) and it lasted forever. The beautiful bell may go on a sophisticated city bike distant in my future. (Oh, also, Knog replaced it.)

I have it on one bike, have the same issues. The stamped metal bells (Incredibell) with a plastic base are louder, are cheaper and are easier to actuate and are sturdier.
