I don’t find myself riding often in downpours, but in light/usual rain my
Spurcycle maintains its high, clean ding.

Bob,
To simulate a torrential downpour, I ran the faucet on spray over the
Bell. It dampens the sustain but the strikes are still about 80% of full
volume.
Keep in mind that rain softens the sound waves of ambient noise and that will
also contribute to the effectiveness of the Bell.
The
Bob, sounds like you want a bicycle air horn (they exist). They aren’t
friendly, but they work in the rain and are loud enough to be heard over
traffic noise and inside cars. Any bell will be dampened if it’s dome gets wet.
With abandon,
Patrick

Ray, does that model work (i.e; ring at full volume) in the rain?

Bob,
Have you tried the Crane Riten Bell?
It doesn’t have a single striker, it has a couple strikers that are forced
outward with centrifugal force.
Instead of a ding ding, they make a br brggg tone and do so on the
push and return.
They are loud but have a nice tone.

The sound of the Cranes deadens a lot after they get wet, enough that when I’m
riding near city traffic I worry that drivers no longer hear it. Do any of the
other bell types hold their sound better (or perfectly) with water on them?
