The bell is optimal
It used to annoy me to always shout on the cycle path (caution - attention). Now I ring the bell once and it is heard and those riding next to each other make way.

Fine, compact, and easily audible bell!
Great bell that makes everyone pull over for you when you drive by at breakneck speed. ;-)

Solid bell with loud sound
Finally, I seem to have a decent bell in my hands. My Knog was and is not much more. The sound also seems really loud enough to me now so that even older people will hear it.

Good bike bell
A fine bike bell that is easy to mount and emits a thunderously loud sound when used.

Loud and clear bell
Excellent bell, I can be heard well from far away. The bell was perhaps a bit bigger than I expected, but I don't find it disturbing. With the elastic attachment, the bell is nice and tight. There are three slots where the elastic hooks in according to how tight you want the bell.

Perfectly loud bell
Because of the large clapper(?) of this bell, I can find it easily from any cycling position. I regularly tap the bell to warn people around me that they will be overtaken at about 20-35 km/h difference in speed very soon. This bell is very loud and ensures that appalling schoolchildren, swaying mobility scooters and people walking their dogs (on a leash) along the cycle path can hear me and take account of me. And my brake pads (and front teeth) are spared.

Better than BBB
Have been riding with the well-known BBB bell for years. But not loud enough and in the process the construction rattles. This XLC Decibel is really the only alternative. Seems clunkier at first, but on the bike it looks even more streamlined. (Placed behind the spacers.) But most importantly; the sound of this bell is a lot more penetrating/louder. You can also rotate the lever 360 degrees and the construction is much sturdier. Rubber elastic is very tight though. Used the old one from the BBB bell.

Safely on the road
I too rode without one for too long. But this one does not stand out among steerers and it is so much easier, safer and more sociable to overtake others.... appreciated.
