i have a spurcycle style bell on my drop bar bike, and a traditional 'ring, ring' bell on my flat bar.
i find the traditional bell a lot better for alerting people to my presence than the 'ting' of the spurcycle one, which people tend to regularly ignore.
maybe people are more used to the traditional bell sound?
agreed, when i had one i don't remember anyone taking any notice of it either so just resorted to shouting when closer, unfortunately someone is still yet to make a nice looking(compact) bell that works as well as traditional ones.
