RightBearing Alloy Mini Bicycle Handlebar Horn Bell Ring, Big Ring t13

I ride almost daily and live in a large city in South Florida. If you are in the same situation and find pedestrians obliviously walking along the bike paths in groups that span the width of the entire path, having an alert of some sort is almost as essential as pedals.I didn't want the typical bell ringer thing because I didn't want to sound like an 8-year old on a tricycle. I didn't want the generic horn-type with the rubber squeeze ball because I'm not a seal in the circus. So, I tried this.Straight out of the box, its pretty simple. You find basic, but perfectly adequate shipping packaging. The horn/alert unit is an electronic box with a little horn attached to it that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. On the back is a plastic panel lightly held in place by two little screws that you will need to remove to reveal the included 9-volt battery that is not yet plugged in. This little unit is then linked by a thin insulated cable about 4-5 inches in length to a button that has an adjustable band on it. The horn/alert unit also has an adjustable band with a slot that allows you to slide the actual alert piece on and off quickly via a little clip once the adjustable band is secured to the handlebar. Installation is pretty quick and simple for any capable adult that knows how to use a screwdriver, and took me about 5-10 minutes. Yes, you will need a small screwdriver and maybe some needle-nose pliers to hold on to two tiny nuts that "grab" the screws as you secure the two attachable pieces down. I found that my handlebar was a bit small in diameter for the bands, so I used a tiny piece of cloth as a shim, and it stays securely fastened.How does it sound?.. The quickest and best way to describe it, is it reminds me of an old-school toy laser! If you tapped the button a few times, it would make that unforgettable "pew-pew" sound. One of my first concerns with this alert was, is it going to be extremely loud!? I was happy to find that its quite reasonable. It is slightly annoyingly piercing, but not too loud. It's about as loud as your typical ringer type alert. I accidentally tapped the red activator button as I was installing it, and it did startle me a bit, but that was the very first time I'd ever heard this thing. It's not obnoxiously loud, but audible and piercing enough to "cut" through ambient noises that you may encounter like nearby cars, noisy crowds, and other city noises. Bottom line is, if you ever need to use it, you will definitely arouse curiosity and attention. Which is what you want, isn't it?I think I paid around 16 bucks (u.s.) for this thing, which in comparison to the 25 dollar rust-worthy steel shell with spring-loaded metallic ball ringer gadget I found at my local bike shop, isn't too bad. Give it a try!

Well... it didn't make the sound I expected. It's more like a siren/alarm than a horn. What I do is I press it and unpress very quickly for a quick loud sound. It is kinda loud. Its great if you feel like youre going to get mugged and need a loud alarm-like sound haha

Clamp that holds it to handlebars is plastic broke when I tried to put on the handlebars piece of junk

I rewired this unit from a 12 inch cable to have a 25 foot cable. I placed the siren on the bird feeder and whenever squirrels attacked the feeder I was able to scare them off from inside my house. The siren isn't very loud, but is enough to make the critters jump and run!

Sound varies which is good - I like that it has low and high sounds.My only issue is that the button comes loose but hat may be an issue with the placement

Ad said 7 different sounds, only one was heard.

Funny horn. It fell apart when i twisty tied it on and the honker button broke but it still works somehow.

Good horn
