Bike Bell Goldilocks

Man I wanted this bell to please. I searched and searched for just the right call that didn't cost too much and looked ok. I saw the reviews on this tool and thought THIS IS IT! It's small enough not to look silly, seemed well made with some metal components, and is loud with a clear, pleasing sound. BUT. I have no idea what handlebar circumference this bell is for. Wanted to try it on a racing bike handlebar, the plastic bracket was so small that one day the baffle plate was pressed STRONGLY against the bell. This steering wheel is TOO BIG. I liked the bell so much that I transferred it to the straight handlebars on my commuter bike. It seemed to fit, but after tightening, the mount became so round that the cymbal no longer made contact with the bell. This steering wheel is TOO SMALL. The problem was that after trying it on a few handlebars (I liked the call and wanted to keep it) I couldn't find exactly ONE bike that was EXACTLY RIGHT. I even tried tightening it until I realized I was wasting all day with a stupid steering wheel bell that isn't designed for adult steering wheels. Came back and look again.

Pros
  • Excellent General Qualities
Cons
  • Doubtful
