I got a couple close calls on some mtb trails and decided to get this bell, the guy at the bike shop after I told him I only ride trails said to get this one, it’s $69 now, yikes! So expensive but better safe than sorry and it is sleek, super small and pretty loud, still can’t believe I spent $70 on a bicycle bell, lol.
I had the Knog Oi for months and it’s honestly terrible. The spring on the Oi is very low quality. My Spurcycle bell actually just came in today and the difference is amazing. You really get what you paid for
Why would anyone want to spend $50 for a well crafted, great looking and an incredible sounding handlebar bell made by actual artisan bell makers? Whether it’s wheels, kits or shoes we’re buying. If you have to ask you probably wouldn’t understand. These bells are beautiful! Life’s short, just buy one.
Yeah if you’re in Canada never order from USA because dumb tax. If you’re in USA never order from Canada because insanely slow shipping through customs.
Is very noticeable to pedestrians though? And will it ring going over bumps? Every bell I ever used always had a light ringing or clanking going over trails.
@@MitchOnTwoWheelsany idea how this works on people walking with headphones in? I really hate shouting "on your left" all the time. People always think I'm being hostile toward them, when really I am just trying to get by without startling them. It is a bike lane after all. Not a place to be having a picnic or playing Pokemon go 🤦
I emailed spurcycle and they are sending me a Frankenbell....slight cosmetic blemish with lifetime warranty. From what I'm hearing you can't even find the blemish. All good for 38.00! Can't wait to get it
@@MitchOnTwoWheels I've been looking around at the handlebars and I don't have much real estate. I might be able to squeeze the bell in between the end of the bar tape and the stem....we shall see
@@MitchOnTwoWheels Well the bell install pretty straightforward and easy. I found a small bit of handlebar space close to the stem. The bell is amazing!
The AGC of the camera mic doesn’t do it justice but you can tell it’s got good volume by how silent his voice becomes in comparison while it’s ringing.
I find that the sound at 4:08, or so, rings harshly vividly in my in-ear monitors; With respect, I'll offer that it would lilely be strident and immediately recognizable to pedestrians.
I got a $50 gift card to my LBS and got the black one for my Surly steamroller. Would I have dropped the cash on it otherwise? Probably not. Am I happy with it? Immensely.
it sounds rather high pitched and annoying to be honest, the high price makes you think it sounds better.. there a cheaper bells with a broader dome that has a much more appealing tone
$50 for bell?, no F... way. The frequency is too high for the middle age person.... best to use a wind chime. the traditional tring tring bell works far better in grabbing the attention of pedestrians. Crane suzi is a far better option.
