Incredibells are kind of small, right?<br />
I guess that's what I have then, but after reading this discussion and some of the reviews on Amazon, I'm starting to think it may be a dud.<br />
I pull the little trigger, and it gives off a sound like tapping a glass that's at least half full of water with a spoon. I liked that it didn't sound overly threatening, but does this sound right?<br />

I've been rocking the freebie bell New Belgium handed out at the UAR last summer. Pretty pleased with its performance.<br />

I love my bells, but today the aging one on my road bike would issue only a dull thump and refused to ring on the LFT, where one most needs a bell. Any tips on maintenance from any long-time users? A quick assessment revealed that the dome of the bell was pushed down into the housing, and freeing it helped considerably, but the spring is also stretching and this causes the striking pad (tongue?, clapper?) to hang limply and strike poorly.

I love my bells, but today the aging one on my road bike would issue only a dull thump and refused to ring on the LFT, where one most needs a bell. Any tips on maintenance from any long-time users? A quick assessment revealed that the dome of the bell was pushed down into the housing, and freeing it helped considerably, but the spring is also stretching and this causes the striking pad (tongue?, clapper?) to hang limply and strike poorly. I assume the spring can be replaced, but it seems a little more delicate an operation and I don't want to rush into it until I hear from someone who has done it. Thanks. It's this bell:<br />
