Mirrycle Incredibell Original Bicycle Bell
E**N
easy to attach, secure, loud enough, and the dinger position is adjustable
I've used these for many years. They are the best of the several bicycle bells I've tried. Where I ride, there are some multi-use trails you are not allowed on if you don't have a bell, so I put it on to warn hikers I'm coming up behind them and it works well.

Best bell for the $
The Incredibell is easy to install and sounds like a much bigger bell. People on the bike path hear it and Make way for you. It's also great for passing other bicyclists! I highly recommend it for children and adults alike.

Frustrating install due to bad screw
The included screw is either stripped or too small to grip and close the clamp securely. Iβve had to make a couple trips to the hardware store to get a larger screw that has had to eat through the clampβs plastic in order to install correctly. Super frustrating! The bell itself is great, easy to ring, seems sturdy enough. The plastic clamp and screw, not so much.

not for road/drop taped bars
Doesn't quite fit on handlebars (over tape) in any placement, haven't tried installing it along seatpost/frame yet as placement is important. A fine product itself, if I could find a longer screw then this would work, as placement is important.Could Seller/Mfr provide a slightly longer screw?

Compact & effective
Very well made. Fit handlebar perfectly and has a nice audible ring. Not super loud, but still effective! Very happy with it!

One of the best bells around (except for road bikes)
The original (size) Incredibell is still the best bicycle bell I know of. There are definitely lower cost (or free) bells available, however most suffer from terrible problems which are not always obvious until fitting or using them!The dinger on some is just a bendy piece of plastic which normally doesn't work well and breaks soon anyway. All the $1 cheapies have a fixed position dinger which is simply inferior, and although they should all sound reasonable... most actually put out very little sound. Don't bother wasting money and time on a bell which is inconvenient, unsafe, and doesn't last. There is also nothing quite as annoying as a bell which makes dingly sounds as you ride. Spend a few bucks more and get something that actually works. I've owned plenty of hopeless bells, that's why I now only buy Incredibells.If you are still reading this review, you deserve some details. The Increbell weighs just 24 grams. A junk bell is usually around 21 grams anyway, which makes the Incredibell the absolute best safety item you can add to a bike for 3 grams extra weight! The Incredibell Original has a 34mm diameter bell. It's also available in a mini size and a larger size, both of which are actually worse than the original (smaller is almost the same weight but the sound output suffers, while the larger version looks worse and still manages to sound inferior to the original). I paid US$8.09 on Amazon for the last one I bought. These bells are basically for 7/8" (22.2mm) diameter handlebar ends, which means they are fine for most commuter bikes, mountain bike and BMX... regardless of bar material, amount of rise, or bar clamp area diameter. The notable exception is road bikes, sorry. Quoted size range is 21.7 to 26mm. The Incredibell is made in Japan. Buy the black ones.Bike shops often remove bells and reflectors from new bikes, but probably shouldn't. They know junk bells will usually cause problems and reflectors sometimes make bikes look cheap. The Incredibell is neat and unobtrusive, and has a loud piercing sound. The rotating dinger platform is easily adjustable and it won't move by itself. It is best mounted near the handlebar grip (within thumb reach) on the side opposite the primary (front) brake. In Australia all bike brakes are set up Moto style with riders right hand operating the main brake, so the bell goes on the LHS to allow bell and front brake use simultaneously. Bells are definitely good to have in urban areas (if not legally required) because the ping of a bell is not rude but a safety sound, which seems to register with people and they look out for bikes.As the packaging says.. "Little, Light & Loud". Recommended for sure.

Works like a charm
A bell tends to be easier on the psyche of hikers than yelling biker..

bell
Expensive, but well worth it. A great little bell. Easily beats bawling at people, especially when they've got earphones in.

Perfect!
At last - a simple bell that works efficiently even when wearing thick gloves.I highly recommend this bell to anyone who wants something well engineered and unobtrusive.

False Advertising
Buyer beware!! You will NOT receive a Mirrycle Incredibell which is an excellent product. You WILL receive a cheap knock off that will end up in landfill shortly after use. The original product has a design that allows the striker to only pivot in one direction. The product you receive has a striker on top of a spring that can move in any direction, and won't strike the bell properly unless you focus carefully and "aim" it perfectly at the bell. Also, the bell itself is very thin and doesn't ring anywhere near as loud as the original product. The positive reviews must have somehow come from the original product (which is worthy of 5 stars). I don't know how they are getting away with this false advertising. The owner did reach out when I requested a refund. I responded with a photo and explanation and they never got back to me after that. I requested a refund from Amazon and it looks like Amazon is taking care of it (refund). Don't waste your time or money on this one. I highly recommend the original product if you ever find it in a local bike shop.

Buyer Beware
Defective part. Cheap quality. Unresponsive vendor. Be careful, this supplier changes names and does not respond to any inquiry. I would not recommend this item.
