Granite Cricket Fahrradklingel

cool little bell, dual function, great for trials not too loud, it probably should be louder but its less intrusive when riding in the forest and its quite.

I don’t know why everyone says this bell is too quiet. I think it’s perfect. Everyone moves out of the way when the timber bell is on and I love that you can turn that feature off if you want. I will definitely buy another one for my other bike.

The cow-bell on/off is great, as is the ability to manually ring the bell. Fit and finish is top notch and build quality is great. The only shortfall is the sound, which is not a strong as some other bells. But, it is good enough for almost all instances.

I use this on several bikes. It works well, not loudly or obnoxiously, but continuously when in that mode. Helps to alert people walking on campus or hiking on trails. Love the design. Push it up for quiet and manual operation. Great bell! Highly recommended!

The perfect bell for the minimalist or those with limited space on their bars. Loud enough. Pull down on bell once installed and you have a "cowbell" feature. Push bell back up for your classic ding. 5 STARS.

Got this because of a few near misses riding my gravel bike on the trails. I've used a different bell for a couple of years that is loud, high pitched and works great - except that you have to manually ding the bell. No problem on pavement or wide open dirt roads. But taking your hand off the bar to ding the bell while riding the trails was always an issue - especially because I most wanted to ding the bell going into blind corners. This bell solves that problem. PROS: - Both the manual mode and the cowbell mode work great - Easy to switch between modes - You can still manually ding the bell even in cowbell mode - You get to keep both hands on the bar on the trails - Doesn't take much to get the cowbell going - even riding on fairly smooth trails gets it going - DURABLE - I rode a BRUTAL gravel course last weekend - really harsh trails, MTB territory, and the bell (and clapper) survived no problem CONS - It's really heavy compared to my old bell - the clapper for cowbell mode feels like it's made out of lead (seriously). It's not ridiculously heavy, just heavier than I expected. - It's larger than my old bell so takes up more bar space - Limited on mounting angles because the clapper has to be able to move back and forth in cowbell mode - Don't like the plastic mount, probably won't survive a crash. But the bell is already heavy enough and as I said before, it's survived some really rough outings, so hopefully it continues to do so Overall I like it and it's the best of both worlds. Because the bell is not as high pitched as my old one I was worried that people wouldn't hear it as easily. But that hasn't been a problem so far. People seem to hear it just fine and, in fact, it has actually been a blessing. With my old bell, the sound was too similar to a cell phone notification. Half the time I would ring the bell and instead of looking around to see me coming people would stop and look at their phones or ignore it because they thought it was their phone! This new bell seems to catch their attention more. I do wish it was louder on the trails, but it's better than nothing or riding one handed.

I don't normally review items, but after a year of use I wanted to share the following. Running some sort of "timber bell" is essential when mountain biking. I should have picked one up years ago. It has saved me so much frustration when riding on mixed trails where you may encounter hikers. No more yelling, or being accused of sneaking up on people. It also saved my butt recently when I skidded to a stop 15' from two large bears. The bell alerted them as I approached and they peaceful ran off. The bell isn't super loud. However, it seems to work well and does not feel annoying to use. After a year of use, the spring did break. This means no more manual dinging, but it still works as a timber bell.
