Re: [RBW] Silent bell until needed

I like the Crane Karen (Rivendell's bell 12?) with the stronger spring that 
Rivendell sells.  
The springs have a finite life if you ride MUP/greenways, and you need to 
replace the springs anyway.

I have bells on all my bikes, and I've never heard one that hummed. I 
did have one with a defective striker mechanism that rattled around 
inside, resulting in what' I'd call a tinkle when I hit rough pavement, 
but even there, nothing even close to a hum.   Are you sure it's not 
tinnitus?

I have both a Spurcycle bell and a knockoff copy that cost about 1/5th the 
price and has 90% of the sound. This type of bell is indeed very attractive and 
loud.

[RBW] Silent bell until needed

[Bill Lindsay]

That sounds like the design brief for electronic horn type devices.  Push the 
button and it beeps.

[RBW] Silent bell until needed

[Deacon Patrick]

Bells are designed to reverberate. They take the vibration of a ride, even when 
not intended to be rung, and “hum.” Anyone have suggestions for the most 
silent, stealth bell you’ve experienced, there when you need it, uterly silent 
when you don't?

With abandon,
Patrick
