Bells are required by law for bikes in Germany. As an experienced cyclist, it is a law I agree with. They are a known sound to alert pedestrians and avoid accidents. However, buying a bike-bell for a modern road-bike can be difficult. Handlebars are no longer 22mm round diameter tubes. Replacing the end-cap of a drop handlebar is a great solution because it is easy to reach with your hand for a quick cling.

We started by looking for a bell with a crisp clear sound. We landed on copper on copper, to give the classic sound. We used a simple screw-controlled lock clamp, so the bell could be adjusted to lock in all handlebars. Just tighten until you have strong resistance indicating a tight clamp. If excess bar tape is present on the inside of the handlebar (as traditional), the bell sits securely with no sliding. Without bar-tape, the clamp can slide slightly (particularly on smooth metal handlebars). To counter this, we include a small piece of paper to sit between clamp and handlebar, which greatly increases the friction between the plastic clamp and the inside of the handlebars.
