V7 Brass Bike Bell - Ring While Braking - Road, MTB, Hybrid, E-Bike & Folding - UK Made

I have had an earlier version of the Trigger Bell on my gravel bike and have been waiting for several months for the newest iteration (v7) to come out so that I could fit it on my new road bike, as I couldn't find any other bell as convenient for drop bars as this one, at any price. It looks and works exactly the same. However there are a few differences: the sound is slightly louder and of a lower frequency. The trigger requires a bit more effort, is somewhat stiffer than the previous one. I don't remember the previous version to be so difficult to fit to the bike, the mechanism is the same but the plastic band was very stiff and only just long enough to go around my bike's hood with barely a couple millimeters to spare, so it took a few tries to get it set. Once tightened, it remains in place with little to no flex. All in all I still like it, although I'm not convinced that the slightly louder sound and harder trigger is enough of an improvement to be worth the wait! I will continue to compare over the winter to see how the two versions compare when using gloves.

I was a sceptic, I didn't think I'd really need to put a bell on my road bike, but then I realised that I was for ever calling out to walkers on shared pathways, etc and that, perhaps, I should rethink. I wanted something discreet though to not detract from the carefully carved profile of my bike so ... The search began. I stumbled across the Trigger Bell as part of that search and was interested in the idea that it was a bell that was a neat and innovative design, it was different. I then read about the possible advantages of having the option to sound the bell, whilst also change gear and braking if I needed to, all without swapping hand position I clicked "buy" with enthusiasm! The Trigger Bell arrived well packaged and small in size, and after looking at the instructions (YouTube) for fitting I secured the bell to the lever hoods. The first couple of rides I noticed that the bell was "ringing" independently, especially over broken tarmac and the like and I mentioned this in an email response from the seller when asked by Amazon Marketplace what I thought. Within a couple of days I received a replacement bell, plus a small supply of alternative screws that the seller suggested may have been the issue. I was also invited to keep the bell I'd originally bought.... I swapped out the small cross headed screw for a hex headed alternative and attached the new bell. Problem solved....! I've used this product for about a week now and to be honest I'm impressed, people seem to respond positively to move out of the way, often thanking me, for letting them know I was there! I'm beyond pleased! So, to summarize, a small but effective bell, that does what it's intended for, at a reasonable price, with an innovative design that means your hands can stay still. All this backed up with really excellent customer service from Trigger Bell, who delivered above and beyond! Buy without hesitation! I would if I needed another one, but I've got one that needs fitting to my mountain bike....! ***UPDATE - Sept '18** - So I've been riding with this bell for a few weeks now and I am more than impressed, I genuinely don't know why I didn't look for a bell sooner, the polite "Ping" from Trigger Bell is always met with a positive response from a really broad array of walkers, other cyclists, dog-owners, etc. Many of whom actually thank me for alerting them I was approaching, I've developed a bit of a system for myself, a single "Ping" when I'm a fair distance away (which usually does the trick to be honest), then two "pings" as I close up, and in the event of a non-response Three "Pings" when I can nearly touch the other person! I've found that the three "Ping" recipients are usually wearing earbuds so I could sound an air-horn and they'd be non-responsive. I continue to ride happy with this great product fixed to my bike - no signs of any slippage, unwanted noise or wear at all so far...! Bell-issimo! :) **UPDATE NOV 18*** I now have a Trigger Bell fitted to my mountain and road bikes and continue to be impressed at the effectiveness of such a small and discreet addition. I am still very pleased about how effective this is....plus no signs of fatigue, damage or corrosion despite the delights that the UK's weather and some mild off-roading had thrown at it!

What do I mean by everything apart from the sound is 5 stars. Let me explain, installation is the simplest you get with an very secure fitting, quality is good and packaging was good. The feel of the leaver was great, but due to its shape and size it just didnt produce a loud or distinct bell sound. It certainly pinged but most didnt recognise the sound and if someone is wearing earphones there was no chance of them moving. It's very interesting and certainly if you need full control or arnt confident to remove your hands then this is for you. I bought it on the basis I didnt have the space for classic (without getting a bar extender) so this was great but it didnt do the job I needed so It had to get passed on. Loved the idea and design but the sound is too pingey and tinny but that comes with the compact size so I cant mark it down heavily as that's part of the design.

It's a brilliant, simple design; allowing you to ring a it while steering, breaking and changing gears (I've crashed into people before when they step out while I am going quickly so I need two hands on breaks and therefore can't ring my bell, so this is really handy). Can be fitted to any bike in any place (much more versatile than any other bell I've had). The sound is loud and clear and cuts through the noise of traffic well. Only downside is the installation can take a while, and with no instructions it seems like there should be a shorter way, but you'll just have to sit there unscrewing and screwing a screw for a while in an awkward position.

I've used a few different models of bell over the years and bought this to replace a Knog Oi Classic on my mountain bike. The Knog Oi (apart from being too quiet) is a flimsy design, becoming irreparably damaged after I turned the bike upside down to mend a puncture in the dark. First impressions of the The Trigger Bell - fantastic! Ergonomically, it's brilliant - although it took me a few goes to find the perfect location in amongst the trigger shifter, brake lever and dropper post remote. Worth persevering. For such a discrete unit, the bell is very loud. It is also solidly made. On its first outing I took it on an 80km, 4 hour ride off-road and it didn't rattle or "ding" once unless I made it do so. Only negative point... the sound became slightly muted in the rain, but I image most other bells would have the same issue. Just give it a wipe. Apart from that, this bell is pretty much perfect as far as I'm concerned. Just what I was looking for. I'll order some more for my other bikes.

The bell ships with the tie already in the the loop. This is entirely unnecessary and makes the bell fat more difficult to fix to the bike. Just ship it with the tie open and it would be a much better product

Works perfectly on my weird drop-bar/disk-brake/non-STI setup. 3 mins to fit, easy to readjust. No moving parts to rattle. Loud yet classy ‘ping’: on my first test on Brighton seafront on a windy Sunday afternoon I successfully missed 2 dogs, various kids, a pushchair, a few hire-bike- riders and some elderly folks, all without stopping :-) The ability to ping, brake and change gear without taking 1 hand off the bars is so obviously useful it’s amazing nobody else has sorted this out before

This should be your bell of choice; your first choice. If you’re a serious ride you’ll appreciate this design. I was dubious about this. But when I turned up and I installed it I was pleased. It’s not some big chunky thing that you have to stop and engage with. It complements your journey it doesn’t stall it. It keeps the momentum and ride going. It’s got a nice ding to it; not a scare everybody ding but I’m here. We had some problems initially. My gosh, best customer service ever. Responsive and engaging. No BS from this seller. He wants you to be happy with the end product. It’s small and doesn’t get in the way. My little Girl and one too. If she was to come off or drop her bike this wouldn’t be located anywhere that it could break. It’s got a nice finish to it. It’s small and lightweight. The trigger and where you can locate it is the best part of this. Nicely made. Good mount and construct. I also have a specialised bell which I’ve given to my child now; it is louder but it’s also bigger and requires a stronger trigger pull. I want people to move out of the way in plenty of time. Not those that go left and right and left again and panic. I want them to have plenty of time to know I’m coming and there. I have to test this out a bit more in this respect but I’m happy so far. Will let you know how I get on.

Excellente sonnette : le son est clair, le déclenchement fonctionne bien, la fixation sur le cintre est solide et s'adapte à n'importe quel diamètre de cintre. Le principe de déclenchement avec le pouce, sans lâcher le guidon, est ingénieux. Attention cependant : la présence de manettes de dérailleur avant, sur cintre droit, peut gêner le placement naturel de la sonnette vers le bas au bord de la poignée, comme ça a été le cas avec mon vélo. La solution que j'ai trouvé, est d'orienter la sonnette vers l'avant, et de déclencher avec l'index au lieu du pouce. C'est moins optimal, mais je peux toujours l'utiliser tout en freinant avec le majeur et l'annulaire. Je suis quand même très satisfait.

取付けスペースもあまりとらず、高い音色が響きます 良い商品だと思います

Great bell plenty loud for trails and has stood up to my abuse for three years. Small black and inconspicuous.

Snabb leverans och allt enligt förväntan. Kan vara den bästa ringklockan till bockstyre

- Mounting & Positioning – Sits near the brake hoods, so I can ring it without moving my hands. Super convenient. - Ease of Use – Quick thumb flick, smooth trigger. Loud enough for most situations, but not the loudest. - Look & Build – Low-profile, doesn’t mess with the bike’s aesthetics. - Final Verdict – Well-designed bell for drop bars, made in the UK with a 5-year warranty. Easy to use and perfectly placed, but could be a bit louder. 4.8 out of 5!
