Knog Oi Bell Large

I have this on my road ride and it is invaluable when cruising through town or on the bike path. Also love the look and feel. I've bought these for friends as gifts as well. If only it could penetrate earbuds!

Looks great. Takes up little room. However spring that makes bell ring wont last

These are compact and take up very little room on your handle bar. Easy to use and very easily heard, especially walkers you are passing.

Great bell, like the look and sound

This little bell is so powerful it freaks out my dog from 50 yards. On my first ride, I took a trail that is multi-use. I came down fast a slope to end at a larger conjunction crowded with a group of hikers blocking pass. All I did was lightly touch the Knog and O! These people jumped and cleared the path quickly. It wasnt my intention to do that, it only speaks of how powerful the sound of this bell is.

Purchased two...one for me and wife's bikes. Love the minimalist profile of this bell. Discreet, non-offensive tone. Takes up little space on the bar and the matte black finish matches our bars.

Un-obstrusive, loud, easy to install, looks great. I got the brass version....beautiful design and function.

perfect

I bought this as an experiment . I had other bells on other bikes, but needed a bell that fit a larger bar on one of my bikes. I was curious about these anyway, so I bought one. I have it on my commuter bike, but have used it on trails as well. Frankly, it could be louder. It may be adequate if the person being alerted isn't wearing ear buds or earphones, but if they are, it isn't making an impression. In fairness, my other bells do not always make an impression either, but they do so fairly often. I do like the appearance of this bell because it blends in with the bar rather than looking like a growth on the top of the bar. It is also important to make sure that the portion of the bell that does the ringing is not in contact with brake or derailleur cables as that with muffle what ringing there is.

These are the perfect solution for rail trails or other settings where cyclists interact with pedestrians. I find a few rings-rings announces my approach more effectively than shouting, plus these take up less space on my handlebars.

Bought 4 for various bikes. None of them lasted more than a couple months. They look good and -- while they work sound great -- but I would not buy this again. If you decide you want it, first, make sure you purchase properly for your bar diameter, and then once it is installed be /extremely/ careful when ringing it. The striker is attached poorly by a spring that has a tendency to bend in such a way that the striker won't strike the bell. If you strike too hard, (say because the clear but quiet ring didn't penetrate the ears of that group chatting away in front of you) you're just as likely to damage the striker as you are to get a louder ring. Buyer beware.

Hides away perfectly on my handlebars. Don't even notice it, which is exactly what I wanted. I preferred to not have a bell that was a bright brass, or even black, the kind of dome of a bell that's as inconspicuous as a dogs balls, on my bike. It fit the bill there...but it is lacking in decibels, actually quite soft in bell ringer standards. But seems to catch the attention of typical millennial girl walkers zombified staring at their cell phones. Yup...I said that

This is as loud as the incredibell and attaches in a lovely subtle way. I had to swap it from left to right to avoid brake cables that damped the sound, but it wasn't an issue, just be thoughtful where on the bike it will go.

I love the low profile and also how it accommodates the adjacent cable. It gives a gentle, pleasant ding but not quite loud enough until very close to a walker.

have 4 on different bikes. The sound is pretty and can be heard clearly within passing range. I have a bit of issue with the spring for the striker on two of the bells... and I fear that over time that spring will permanently bend and make the striker fail to hit, but thus far (~ 1 month+) that has yet to happen.

Had one on my MTB and my wife's bike. They both worked fine for a month or two, but soon the little spring holding the ringer gets stretched or bent and just won't work anymore. I really wanted this to work given it's small size, but no dice.

Simple, low profile bell that mounts easily to your handlebars. More importantly, the sound is pleasant and it carries well. This is a great solution to alerting people of your presence on a bikeway without causing a confrontation. In addition, the tone of the bell seems to cut through ambient noise or someone using ear buds, so you get your point across without being the angry yelling man. Or woman.

A Classic Case of Form vs. Function. This bell is beautiful to look at & creates a beautiful , mellow, lingering tone. Perfect for a Zen Retreat, perhaps. But as a practical bell to alert people of my presence this bell doesn't do the job. No one hears it! By contrast, for less I can get a steel bell that dings brightly & loudly & helps keep me & others safe. Too bad, as I really wanted to use this bell.

This neatly designed urban bell compliments any bike and gives you a unique sounding warning to others on streets, trails, or wherever. My wife rides nothing but trails and loves the bells' sound and loudness.

This bell is plenty loud enough for typical bike trail use. Maybe not enough for city riding.

The installation is very clean. I barely notice it. It blends into the black of my stem and bars.
