[RBW] Re: Has anyone used this bell?
$50 smackers for a bike bell ? I wouldn't buy it not because of the price but the sound and function of it. I really do prefer the more musical varieties , to me they are fun . If I need defenses on my bike rides it's time to not ride anymore. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Has anyone used this bell?
Thanks for the response, Paul. I do intend to get one, eventually. As you say, it's a steep price for a bell, but a bell is increasingly important for the riding that I do. I like the mounting flexibility that the Spurcycle seems to have, I need to able to reach the bell. As for packaging, I was just thinking about that yesterday regarding Apple. We just got iPhones. Apple's packaging sort of makes you feel the way you described. Marketing genius, I guess. I remember that one of our earlier home computers came in a huge box that looked like a cow!

Steve, I'm down near Richmond, but can attest to the worthiness of the Spurcycle bell. I was a part of the original Kickstarter campaign. After that, I purchased two more (at considerably higher prices)! Very elegant, minimalist and a nice piercing sound that gets attention. These guys did a great job of design, down to the wonderful packaging. With each I received, I felt like I was unwrapping a Faberge' egg! What sold me over anything else was the ingenious way it attaches without screws, nuts, etc. Most of that portion is hidden away inside the bell, with only the slender (maybe 5mm) stainless strap showing. Clean! Treat yourself! Paul Germain Midlothian, Va.

Does anyone know of a shop in the DC/MVA area that sells Spurcycle bells, and actually has some on display?

:Looks like the Knog, eh? I ordered the Dutch bell from Riv for my mixte. I've used the Cranes and the nice brass tempe bell for 10 bucks from VO...that one I really liked but the spring broke last fall...I think I had it on my Peugeot for about 4 years. A 20 year old Cateye with plastic trigger/ringer is still going strong...not the prettiest but it works and is loud enough On Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 11:09:37 AM UTC-6, Brewster Fong wrote: > > > > On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 7:17:00 PM UTC-8, Jon BALER wrote: >> >> If you want this bell, buy the knog original.

This is a knock-off I don't know anything about this knock off, but the Knog Oi bell is terrible! I bought one on their kickstarter campaign and it is one the worst bell I have ever used! A $10 cheapie from Performance is far superior. The main problem appears to be the striker is plastic (really?! WTF?!) and the spring is weak. So it rattles and slightly rings while you're riding along and hit a bump and when you use it - forgetaboutit! Its like the softest sound and on places like riding across the Golden Gate Bridge, where there's lots of noise, you can barely hear it. Save your money and either get a Spurbell or buy one of those superior $10 bells from Performance: http://www.performancebike.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10052_10551_1179171_-1_400246__400246 Good Luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
