Bells - anyone?

i got the brass one VO is selling. makes a lovely sound. but put it onto my bullhorns and it looks very out of place

i have a silver 'brrrringgg brrrring' bell on my old bike to 'brrrrinnggg' my gf down when i ride up to her place so that she can run down and give me a welcome hug. just wanted to keep up the routine

i know this is unlikely but does anyone have a bell on their fixed bikes?
if there's any i would like to know where u mount it

cheers

See that silver thing on the stem? Right there.

i had a bell for ages.. i resort now to shouting... get em to panic a bit.

I used to have a nice brass one, but people seemed to take offence at it more often than not, so I took it off and have gone back to yelling at them

there ya go in its full glory

I bought one off here but it looked rusty so I didn't fit it.

they sure look ace!
i thought about putting it on the stem as well does that mean i will have to get one of these? (mine's a charge plug)

just buy a horn, far more effective.

115db for 15 quid; refill with track pump.
hmm, actually considering getting one - would make oxford street much more fun!

that looks amazing.

that looks amazing.

It's given me the fucking horn.

someone should bring one of those to one of the rides,

however , i so want a train horn !!

That's good to know, ed. Will remember that if I get into "difficulties".

Thanks... I've just spent the last twenty minutes watching videos of people honking their horns across america.

And yes, that was a euphemism.

ding dong...
The chaps at the North drinks mock me for it, but they all love the sound...
had to purchase additional bolts to secure to the bullhorns.

I have one of those somewhere. 115 dB, quite entertaining...

yea my bullhorns are a bit too big for the bracket as well. i just used pliers...
is that R top of the bell or is it a cover?

My bell was no use when a dozy cnut stepped out in front of me yesterday. Wanker had an I pod @ max blast, so didn't even hear me shout. Lost the front wheel on damp cobbles and ended up on my arse.
The twat faced, acne ridden, brainless, lobsters dick just walked off. I don't think he even noticed. Result: lots of lovely grazes and a mullered crash hat.
Next time I will just run into any blind knob who kamakazies into my path, thats a softer option then the road.
Maybe one of those 115db horns would work.

One long screw and one short screw, this was the best way to attach them. I think i have "profile dynamic" bullhorns (from memory)

The "R" is just a sticker. it is bright silver underneath and makes a very good "ring ring" sound as opposed to most bells which make a "ping".

I keep meaning to buy a nice bell for my commute bike, and a cheap one for my MTB. Assuming the peds are using an iPod they usually recognise a bell as being a bicycle, whereas shouting could come from anywhere.

Matty I'll sell you mine if you want it's sitting in the draw not being used, tenner and its yours, I dont think I've ever actually used it.

I got this one from denmark:

They are made from a single slice of round steel, fitted to a brass bracket.

I'm finding these strangely attractive..

Also don't forget this tried and tested approach:
