Hello. The cheap bell that came fitted to my bike has broken. Any bell recommendations?

A referees whistle.
Nobody takes any notice of anything else.
Or they have headphones the size of dinner plates and zombie along in their own little world.

Another cheap bell. They're all much of a muchness. I've got one of these "XLC" ones https://www.tredz.co.uk/.XLC-Mini-Bell-Multi-Size-DD-M07-_125981.htm It's nothing special and does the job and has lasted well. I just checked and it cost me £2.99 10 years ago.

However if you want a statement piece you can get fancy brass ones that look nice. And indeed sound nice too. I remember someone demonstrating theirs and it sustained for ages. "Pinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng" rather than "tink".

Thank you, I'll have a look. As long as it's a loud tink I'll be happy!

I can't work out how that attaches to the handlebar.

Rubber band. The photo is a bit odd but it comes with a thick O ring rubber band that hooks onto the bell 's foot, then loops round the bar, then hooks onto the foot on the opposite side.

I have mine on my bikes head tube, not on the handlebar.

I have one if these - works fine.
