Till then?
My go to bell is the “Awareness Bell “. I saw it a few years back in Mt Bike Action. Beautiful and functional. So good I now have two.
Have to agree. I have the Awareness, Spur Cycle, and Timber bells.
The Awareness bell is way better than the Timber bell for trail riding. The switch on my Timber bell wore out after a few months of use and got replaced under warranty.
The Spur Cycle bell is nice too, but better for paved paths and commuting. When I ring it at elderly people on the trail they always stop and look ever where except at me because they think it is a bird. Go figure.
I’m a total fan of the Timber bell.
Had the original version (band on) but now gave fitted the bolt on version to both my Pugsley and my Karate Monkey Ops.
Highly recommended.
