Water Proof Cycling Bell?
I'm talking about the traditional mechanical types, but is there such a thing as a waterproof cycling bell? My one (cheap, came with the bike) goes from a pleasant ring to a dull thud at the hint of moisture. As my journey can take me along shared paths, towpaths and cycle lanes with lots of pedestrian encroachment, I do find a couple of rings of the bell when approaching a blind bridge bend, or subway useful. So any recommendations for when it is wet?

Jake Paul is exceptionally hateable but as the photo shows him using Campagnolo group and wheels, he can't be all bad. So there's that.

Yes, unfortunately with all local authority contractors there always has to be the caveat "if it's done properly".

Never had one that maintains its tone when wet.
I've got one of these on Bike A - https://www.cranebellco.com/e-ne-bell and one of these on Bike B - https://www.cranebellco.com/mini-suzu-bell
Both seem so far (year or so) to be fine in the rain.
I have a Crane bell too. Commuting in Glasgow means it mostly gets used wet. It works perfectly in all weather.
I was going to buy a Knog Oi but reviews suggested they're too quiet when dry and completely useless when wet.
I have a Crane "Karen" bell, which I mainly bought because I thought the name was funny. It seems to sound OK in the rain.
Does it ask to see the manager in a loud shrill tone?
