Cowbell shopping

[00Dawg]

So my wife wants a cowbell with a more comfortable handle than the traditional bicycle grip. I know I've seen something like a gel handle in the past, but I can't find that option online. BattleBells, YearOfTheCowbell, etc. Am I missing or overlooking something obvious?

Go to Amazon and search bicycle grips and find what she want. Swap out the grip.

Slight hijack, but does any one else think that cowbells these days sound really dinky? I have one from the late 90s and it sounds a ot louder than the new ones.

The sound now is more of a clatter than a bell ringing. So yes, they don't sound as good now as they once did. I suppose we could have someone make them out of bell bronze but the cost would be exorbitant.

Agreed...

I did this. Now I have an ergonomic grip with comfort as a bonus.

Thinner metal.

The old one`s were more of "weapon grade" units.

ATV grips might be a better option than bicycle grips. Most ATV grips have a 7/8 inch ID where most motorcycle grips have 1 inch ID plus MC grips have a twist throttle sleeve on the right grip but you only need one. Just measure the OD of your handle and search from there.

I found out during the Music City Bowl that the chrome ones are strictly for decoration.

This^ they're super flimsy.

This is what I have. Just a foam grip, but much better than what comes on them originally.

That is why I made my own back in the mid 90's. It's held up very well.

I've been very disappointed with every bell I've bought except my Battlebell, which made it two seasons before getting a crack in it.
That thing was stupid loud.
