Review on ZUKKA Bike Bell: Vintage Brass Bicycle Ring Horn with Clear and Loud Tone - Essential Cycling Accessories by Reginald Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fake Japanese bell of acceptable quality, see bell update 5/28/19

I bought this bell to replace the Crane Suza bike bell which was not available at the time. I hate doing this, but to tell you the truth, this bell is nowhere near the quality of the original. Save your $, wait for the Crane Bell from Japan to become available. The lever on this one toggles when you try to make a call and the audio is poor when it rings. I wish I could be kinder, but come on, this call is nowhere near. Update, after reading my review they refunded my money. It was very nice, I ordered the Crane bell which I originally bought in 2013 and it will be delivered today. Thanks, Zukka update. I removed the Zukka faucet and installed the faucet. To my surprise, I found that the Zukka bell was a bit loose on the bell crown post. I tightened it and it stopped the lever stroke from shifting and improved the tone of the bell. I still like the tone of the Crane bell compared to the Zukka, but if the issue is worth the dollar, this bell would be an acceptable replacement.
