This is a very good bell for the price. My two complaints for it:
1) It only realistically goes on the left handlebar. Putting it on the right doesn't seem to allow for easy bell ringing.
2) If I leave my bike out in the rain and the bell gets wet, it doesn't want to work unless I "ring" it out about 10 times.

This bell works great. It makes a nice sound that meets most local laws because it is audible at over 100 feet in my experience. Just like any bike bell, however, it doesn't work in the rain or when the surface (chiming device) is wet. The water dampens the vibrations that make the nice "briiing" sound. When dry, though, it's wonderful!

This bell is metal which gives it the appearance of being sturdy. The trigger is stiff and does not glide smoothly. The bell also sounds muted frequently. I have to play with it to get it sounding right.

It claims to fit most bikes, but is far too small to fit a drop-bar road bike handlebar. It is fragile and not very loud.

At best, this is an overpriced toy.

The sound of this bell brings back memories of riding my bike through the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid. I mounted this bell on my "adult" bike and feel the feedom of childhood again whenever I ring this great sounding bell. Fun stuff. Now, I am considering putting streamers on the handlebars...

While attaching this bell to my bike, I dropped it. It stopped functioning and I haven't been able to repair it.

I think it's too fragile and would not recommend this bell.

Great for the price. I bought it to warn people when I'm about to overtake them on my beachcruiser. So far I haven't been able to go fast enough to pass anyone, but in testing, it has worked beautifully every time I've tried it.

This bell was better than expected performance wise. It was easy to ring compared to the other similar brands that I've tried. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the wrong description. The bell that I got was neither black or chrome as described but rather a silver PAINTED one.

Nice bell with a nice price. I don't care for the high pitched ring, wish it was a little deeper sound but then it might not be as effective. This will definitely be heard and therefore keep you safe. Remember cars are not always watching out for bicyclist so be careful, be prepared use your bell!

This bell was a great price, but the first time I tried to push the lever for a ring, it made a crunching noise inside and got stuck. It never worked once for a ring. I brought it to my uncle for fixing, but because the gears were all plastic inside, he wasn't able to fix it. Next time I will buy a better bell.
