Retro Brass Bicycle Bell — Loud Handlebar Bell for 22mm Bikes

Product description

Loud, Clear Alert: Designed to project a distinct, pleasant chime, this bell helps cyclists signal their presence to pedestrians, other riders, and motorists. Its sound carries even in busier, noisier environments, making it useful for city streets and crowded paths.

All-Metal Construction: The bell body combines brass for tone with stainless steel and aluminum alloy for strength and weather resistance. The metal build ensures a fuller, longer-lasting ring than plastic options and resists cracking from daily use outdoors.

What’s Included: Each package contains one bell, one anti-slip rubber spacer/pad, a mounting screw, and a small hex wrench for assembly. No extra tools are required—everything needed to attach the unit to the handlebar is included.

Fit and Dimensions: The clamp is made for handlebars about 22 mm in diameter, compatible with most standard bikes. Bell diameter measures approximately 1.4 inches, original inner clamp diameter about 1.1 inches, and with the spacer the inner diameter is about 0.85 inches. Overall product size is roughly 2.49 x 1.77 x 1.4 inches and it weighs around 2.77 oz.

Installation & Protection: To mount, place the rubber spacer against the bar, set the bell bracket over it, then tighten the screw using the supplied wrench. The rubber pad prevents slippage and shields paint from abrasion, keeping the clamp from rotating and protecting the handlebar finish.

Style & Use: Its compact, vintage-inspired appearance keeps handlebars tidy and leaves space for lights, grips, or a bag strap. The simple thumb-striker mechanism provides repeatable, strong strikes for reliable signaling on commutes, errands, or leisure rides.

Pros

  • Loud, pleasant tone that cuts through noise
  • Durable all-metal construction
  • Includes spacer and hex wrench for easy install

Cons

  • Made for ~22 mm bars only
  • Small size may be too subtle for some setups
  • No printed instructions in the box

VerdictWell-built and pleasing to the ear, this vintage-style metal bell offers a strong, far-reaching tone and durable construction. It’s easy to mount on standard 22 mm bars and leaves room for other accessories. Good choice for riders who want a reliable, long-lasting alert without bulk.

Reader reviews

  1. Pat Louden, PCC 5/5

    Very loud and solidly made

    Better tone and build than expected. The brass bell produces a noticeably louder, clearer ring than aluminum models I’ve used. The striker and spring feel robust, and the included rubber inner ring plus hex key make installation on 22 mm bars quick. A nice mix of durability, sound quality, and classic looks—highly recommend for reliable signaling.

  2. David M 5/5

    Small, easy to fit, works well

    Compact and straightforward to fit: the package includes a small hex wrench and a rubber anti-slip pad that nests into a groove on the bracket. No paper instructions, but mounting is intuitive—loosen the bolt, place the pad, position the bell, then tighten. It doesn’t hog handlebar space and rings clearly with a thumb flick, perfect for alerting pedestrians and other riders.
