KNOG Oi

Fits the trek FX2 gen 4. Great little bell that is light and loud enough to be heard over road noise. Love it!!

Confession: Skepticism gnawed at me when I first considered the KNOG Oi bicycle bell. Online whispers of "not loud enough" fueled my doubts, making me hesitant to abandon my trusty (albeit clunky) bell. But curiosity, coupled with a yearning for a sleeker aesthetic, won the battle. Let me tell you, that little "gong" surprised me in the best way possible.The Oi's design is pure minimalism and elegance, practically vanishing on your handlebars. But don't let its good looks fool you. This bell delivers a crisp, clear "ting" that's more than enough to alert pedestrians and fellow cyclists. It's not an ear-splitting clanger, but a pleasant, attention-grabbing chime that gets the job done without unnecessary drama.Here's the key: don't over-tighten it! The magic lies in the outer metal piece vibrating freely. Give it just enough snugness to stay put, and you'll be rewarded with a lovely resonating ring. As for the "touching anything else" warning, a quick installation check ensures the bell has ample clearance, and you're good to go.The Oi transcends mere functionality, becoming a conversation starter. Its unique design draws curious glances and compliments, making it a stylish accessory that complements your ride, not detracts from it. Plus, the high-quality materials and construction scream durability, so you can rest assured this little gong will be serenading fellow riders for years to come.So, if you're seeking a bicycle bell that's both stylish and effective, ditch the bulk and embrace the minimalist magic of the KNOG Oi. It might not be the loudest bell on the block, but its pleasant chime, sleek design, and high-quality build make it a 5-star winner in my book. Don't be afraid to take a chance on this little gem – you might just be surprised how much you love it!

Not loud

This is what I sent to Knogg - after returning the bell. "I ordered the Oi bell on Amazon and received it today. This is my first Knogg product. Overall an Ok product. Have some feedback for you (whether important to you or not). Just to let you know that the allen key that was provided is not the same size as the hex bolt. Any cyclist will have the complete allen key set but if you are going to send one - it should match the bolt. The bell does not work well when you have to ring it several times in a row. You have to time the rings so that they do not overlap. In a situation where you want to catch someone's attention this is not ideal. The bell is frankly not loud enough - if there is any other sort of noise you will have a hard time getting anyone's attention. The plastic (and cheap) trigger has to be pulled at the right angle otherwsie bell does not ring well or at all. Also - the packaging - although nice was hard to access - had to rip the outside layer (I did take the tape off) to access the box. So - packaging - which is the first impression one gets of the product - did not impress. On washboard the trigger mechanish vibrates and pings the bell - annoying. So - I will be returning the bell. Your marketing videos are good but the product is not great. I will buy the $7 bell from China that works great,

I do a lot of research usually on stuff i purchase, and granted, i make mistakes when ordering the wrong part or a wrong judgement call.This bell is portrayed as being compact, modern and high quality, also finely tuned to be acoustically pleasing, what is nowhere to be found (in the CLASSIC listing) is that the "better sounding" Large Size won't fit 22.2 Handlebars without additional shims.The Luxe version does a better job at warning you on the videos and product, and of course now that i know i noticed that it is also briefly shown on the product description for the Classic.The Classic bottom shell is plastic, and the striker is plastic. I mean they could have done with a plastic striker body and a tiny brass head but they didn't, and the reviews about the low quality of the striker spring are also spot on.The bell is pretty quiet, even in enclosed spaces i was underwhelmed, it looks okay, but definitely i think it is overmarketed for the performance.Maybe the Luxe is a better product overall, but i think i am going with a different product unfortunately, it looks nice but the size mismatch and not even additional shims as a remedy made me return it.

It's nice to have a bell that is so good looking. For certain it is a little fussy to install as it is a bit delicate. Just take your time and don't handle it roughly.The little trigger seems like it could have a problem with longevity. So that could be a negative if it breaks. If you want it to ring loud enough for people to hear, you have to pull back farther which might mean it might eventually break. I've used on a number of rides so far and it's nice. I don't anticipate it breaking anytime soon.As far as reviews saying it if not loud, they are accurate. As a positive, it is kinda nice to not be loud so you don't come across as obnoxious and annoying. If you slow down and pass walkers and joggers slower, then the ring is very effective. It does work. It seems that people respond nicely moving over with a pleasant ring. If you slow up a little, you might as well say hello as you pass.You can not ring it hundreds of feet away and ride by pedestrians at 20 mph and expect this to work. They will not have enough time to respond if they even hear it. So if you ride like a jerk, you might be better if with something more obnoxious. Probably better to not be a jerk and realize the trail is not just there for you.I ride on a lot of trails where there are people walking and running. A little ring seems to be working well. Everyone responds by moving over making sharing the trail work for both cyclists and pedestrians. I wish it were a little louder however bring softer has a benefit.
