Review on Be Heard On The Road: Greallthy Classic Brass Bicycle Bell For Mountain & Road Bikes by Mario Portillo

Con: The only issue with this bell is that activating it is done by pushing down on a lever, and then sliding your thumb off the side of the lever for it to spring back so that the clapper pops against the bell. The edge of the lever is not rounded and is uncomfortable as it slides against your thumb. I epoxied a piece of soft leather over the lever, which helps somewhat. This is why I gave it four stars instead of five.Pros:1) Well built. It appears to be made of well-crafted, sturdy components.2) Easy to install. The ring which goes around the handlebars is hinged, allowing it to open up like a clam-shell. This prevents the issue of having to slide the ring over handlegrips, which would make it impossible to install. Lower quality bells do not have this hinge feature.3) Great sound! The ring is loud, clear, and pleasant. This is the sound that would come from Mary Poppins' bicycle if she had one. It successfully cuts through people's earbuds. A single ring, and people turn around with a pleasant demeanor, acknowledging your oncoming bicycle.4) Small footprint. It only takes up about 3/8 inch of handlebar space, making it easy to fit in between other handlebar devices.
