Ferro Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 https://cyclingtips.com/2016/08/a-tale-of-two-bells-spurcycle-vs-the-counterfeiters/ As per the RockBros quality packaging: I would like a SILVERY one for my WINTAGE townie. Can't see there being a problem here.

mtb impi Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Absolutely not true! Most bells are just plain crap, A proper bell is the ORIGINAL Spur (read - not counterfeit), or the Spez brass bell for a third of the Spur's price. I have both, and imho, the Spur is worth every cent; design, manufacturing quality, and sound. A bell is a polite way to warn hikers of you approaching, or when approaching blind corners, apart from when you would like to pass a fellow cyclist.
L.T.G Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Hi. I want/need a good bell on my bike to shoo people out the way when on a public path Scubes, if you're after something that chunky and works, the Spurbell( or the Rockbros ) will work for you... but if you'd like something more discreet.......that works...check out the Oi.. I picked up a couple yesterday, they're really neat.I saw a spiffy looking bel advertused on Westrand cycles fb page.Screenshot_20170221-204808.png https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1951570531/oi-the-bike-bell-that-doesnt-look-like-a-bike-bell decided for yourself... here're some clips on comparisons (the Spurcycle should resonate enough to only have to ding once a ride )
