Reme Le Hane Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, its a bell and much needed on my route... Its also the best looking bell Ive ever seen made for a bike. Here's the vid. https://youtu.be/pBHEMEnw5U8 Got it at sportsmans warehouseThanks, think I'll get 1, guess I won't use it as much as u, but for the few occasions it would be more polite than whistling or shouting.

fanievb Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 The last bits finally arrived to add to my new (albeit 2nd hand) commuter bike... can't wait to finally be able to ride the damn thing. where did you get the gloves from?
Beard Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 where did you get the gloves from?That came locally from Trail and Tar in Tokai but a couple places stock them online im sure. fanievb 1

Here's the vid. https://youtu.be/pBHEMEnw5U8 Got it at sportsmans warehouseHate to be that guy, but those bells don't work very well on anything but tar. As soon as you hit any sort of bump it starts making noise and ringing. The spring is a little soft... Hopefully you have a better experience than me with it! WaynejG and Hairy 2

You are not alone, although mine seems to not want to work unless I pull it very far back so it really whacks the "ringer" ring.......The ergonomics makes it almost impossible to use on a trail.

T-Bob Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Aren't threse things like `a gazillion bucks for A ...BELL I've seen look-a-likes in LBS for about R90. Sure they aren't the original ones but it you strap it to your bars, you flick the switch and the 'bing'... just like the one that cost a fair bit more. It's a bell. It rings. Eddy Gordo 1

Patchelicious Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 SAFFA invention. Hope the guys cashed out nicely when they sold to GaminYes I know, they were called Backtracker then still I think. Almost got involved at one point, but it was a Lemmer that asked so I stayed away Hairy and PhilipV 2
Wannabe Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I bought two of these from Sportsmans. One on my road bike, one on my Mtb (was R55.00 a bell)Works a treat, no unnecessary "ringing" on the trails, no matter how bumpy it is. BSG, MrJacques, Gandalf and 3 others 6
Hairy Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Best Cheap Bell around! If you want a bell for commuting, you want a bell that is loud and reliable. This one is loudish, but has proven to be reliable and still works in the wet too. I bought two of these from Sportsmans. One on my road bike, one on my Mtb (was R55.00 a bell)Works a treat, no unnecessary "ringing" on the trails, no matter how bumpy it is. Wannabe, BSG and ChrisF 3
Beard Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I must confess I bought mine Solely on looks and nothing do do with performance... also given I only plan to use it on the road... should do the trick. DJR and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
