Boast about your latest purchases here...

Hate 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!

 

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.

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.

Sportsmanswarehouse.co.za has them for like 50 bucks, but the oi just looks nice.

SAFFA invention. Hope the guys cashed out nicely when they sold to Gamin

Yes 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

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.

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 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.

Same here, the gold ring matches my Renthal bars graphics

Almost got involved as an investor? Assuming an acceptable early buy-in price, I would think that would have generated a decent return

I have one, you can move the lever way back and it will stay there. Supposed to be for descents so that you wont have a constant ringing.

The time is ALWAYS right for Campy!

Ordered Rapidé SkyRize-R 780 bars and Isolator lock-on grips for the Slade. As usual, top notch and super speedy service from Wayne. Makes the bike look just a little more #enduro #moto. I did a short test ride, and the slight rise feels really nice. Can't wait to hit the trails... T minus 60!
