scubes Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Hi. I want/need a good bell on my bike to shoo people out the way when on a public path But I cannot find one. I need/want a brass striker on a brass bell so it sounds like a bell and not a plastic toy. Specialized sells one for R160 which is fine but they never have stock and when I went into a Concept Store asking for a brass bell and that only, I got a really weird look. Bikebells.co.za has a nice black brass bell for R900 which is way too nice of a price for me to pay for this. Does anyone have one they don't need and would like to sell on? Or where can I find one? https://www.specialized.com/za/en/accessories/specialized-brass-bell/106200 http://www.bikebells.co.za/products/black-bell

splat Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 You could try this one:http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/265636006/ROCKBROS_Vintage_Bicycle_Bell_Stainless_Bell_Bike_Cycling_Horns_Handlebar_Bell_Bicycle_Accessories.html It's a copy of the Spurcycle bellI have seen them in the odd bike shop here and there It appears that I was slower than bikebloke
the nerd Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Buy the spur cycles one and support small business... one of the easiest R500 ive spent and worth every cent!
NotSoBigBen Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Just me or at these prices we are talking about a bell to just ding ding for people to get out the way? I'd rather shout loudly .... Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk
scubes Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be ordering a copy of the spur cycle bell looks awesome the black one

Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk I don't drink or smoke, I spend my money on bike sheeet... if that means a R500 bell made in a small workshop in the USA that's cool. They've done something cool and I appreciate it!
the nerd Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be ordering a copy of the spur cycle bell looks awesome the black one Rather buy something else then, supporting the counterfeit market is a shitty thing to do.

BaGearA Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Verbal communication has always worked for me ....I just drop someone if they start ringing their bell behind me. Nothing that pisses me off more
scubes Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 Well I haven't been able to find the spur bell for 500. I would consider that yes. But 900 for a bell I'll pass. Rather buy something else then, supporting the counterfeit market is a shitty thing to do.
the nerd Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Verbal communication has always worked for me ....I just drop someone if they start ringing their bell behind me. Nothing that pisses me off more Generally not for other riders, more for walkers etc with headphones half on etc...
BaGearA Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Generally not for other riders, more for walkers etc with headphones half on etc... If they can hear the bell they can hear me talk
the nerd Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 If they can hear the bell they can hear me talk These bells are pretty loud and piercing! But ya, I dont like to shout.. so I rather ring!
bikebloke Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Rather buy something else then, supporting the counterfeit market is a shitty thing to do. its a bike bell dude I think the patent (and variant patents) on those ran about 150 years ago a bell is a bell is a bell anyone can make em
