Default Cow Bells

Does anyone know where I can find those mini cow bells? I saw a guy at Aliso Woods that had one and thought it was a great idea.

on a serious note you can use some jingle bells, or some LBS have small bells for bikes. i use a big sumo wrestler horn thats loud and looks funny

yeah I want some of those as well. I have been using bear bells I got at REI for years. I would like to change up my sound. I want to sound like an angry Swiss cow flying down the trail.

They hang those bells people ring at the Olympics for the downhill ski races and the bell Will Ferrell is banging from cows necks in the Alps.

Wallgreens, Lowes, etc. have decorations with jingle bells on them at low, after Christmas prices.

Looks like they run about a dollar a piece if you get an order for 100.

I had a couple of those Kona bells, but my wife tossed them. Mine just said KONA on them though. Made a not to loud sound. I have some others, but they drive me nuts they are so loud and like Craiger said it messes with my wilderness experience.

Default Magnetic Bear Bell from REI

This is the one I use. Has a magnet in it so you can keep the bell silenced on the climbs.

Coghlan's Bear Bell with Magnetic Silencer from REI.com

that's a great idea. i did a ride once with someone who had a bell on the entire ride and i almost lost my mind (on the slow climbs) listening to that "jingle" for 3+ hours. (forgot ipod that day to drown out bell )

so for a 100 bucks we could get some STR bells. Might not be a bad idea. Maybe they could get sold for 5 bucks each and pay for some bandwidth.

Just an idea, I know I'd buy one.
