I think it will be useless in the rain (filling with water), but for now my road bike is a 'fair weather bike'.

Thanks for those pics - that's a clever spot to put the bell.

For now, I have the bell near the stem - the few times I've used it, it was easy to move my hand to the top of the bar and hit the...

Can you post a pic, please?
I'm still trying to figure out where to put the bell on my road bike, and how to orient it so it will be easy to operate..

The last time I was in a local (Victoria BC) LBS, they had a few bells under $20. I agree with Blakcloud that in-person buying is better than online - a 2 second test of a bell will tell you more...

Knockoffs of that Spurcycle are available for not much money. I'll never find out if mine is as good as the Spurcycle because there is no way I'll ever spend $80 CAD on a bike bell.
