FYI bell lovers, the spurcycle frankenbell seconds sale is live! I just ordered my second, even though I don't need it.

bless your heart. Was just thinking how I could use an extra one of their bells.

[jtbadge]

Best bells on the market, again at a great price. The black ones are even cheaper than previous seconds sales!

They really are the best. My wife has one of those cool looking low profile knog bells and the spurcycle is noticeably louder and is audible for twice as long.

[Sboat]

Thank you for the notice, just ordered one...

[weiwentg]

Not to mention their limited edition bells are on sale on their own site and on Chris King's site. Colors this year are violet and bourbon, which don't really do it for me.

[binouye]

+1. Nice bells.
Thank you for the notice, just ordered one...

And for the Knog Oi: original is quiet, but the newer "lux" version is much louder and has a good tone.

Happy Halloween to me!

Is anyone running this on 35.0 mm bars? The bike I have in mind has Deda 35 bars and I’m wondering if the bell would fit. Thanks!

[zmudshark]

Thanks,ordered two.

They provide two metal fixing straps with each purchase. The long one will work with a 35.0 mm handlebar.

If you follow Spurcycle's Instagram, they'll also let you know when the special sales come up.

getting a bell and thinking about a mirror... sigh. I can't tell if I'm wiser, or just older.

Has anyone else had the experience that the Spurcycle bell is almost too loud? I get a lot of startled jumps from hikers that I don't get from my quieter, deader, generic bell. On the other hand, it manages to get the attention of the headphones-on-the-trail-crowd, so that's nice.

[mudhead]

Thx! Just picked another one up.

[fiamme red]

How easy are these to move from one bike to another?

[jtakeda]

Pretty easy. One bolt and the little band is way less finicky than other brands

[emckee1]

Got 2! Thanks for the heads up.

[one60]

one of a kind!!

I received my bells yesterday. They look perfect. And they sound nice, too.

The bell is loud and somewhat piercing. I ring mine further back to avoid that sharpness of sound.

But not sure you can have too loud a bell, within reason. The reverse is what I’ve found (heard) too soft of a sound.

What I’ve seen is people who are startled are typically lost in their own world, as they should be out on a trail or bike path. I believe most would be startled by any sound.

Spurcycles are loud, but given the alternative, not too loud. Trail etiquette is to warn those ahead, politely. I believe this bell does this better than any other.

[Hilltopperny]

I ring my bell from further back a couple of times to try and get people’s attention before I am that close. I have startled people before with my spurcycle bell, but I find they are the same people I startle with “on your left” or “behind”.

Picked up a couple. I can’t wait to try them out. Thanks!

[arimajol]

Mine arrived and I think I know why it was a second. Its pitch is a half step higher than the spurcycle bell. Actually, come to think of it, that was also a second. What pitch is it supposed to be?
Everybody download a guitar tuner app or something and post your results.

I notice that the pitch seems higher on the black bells compared to the raw ones.

I've bought 3 the past 3 years and they all sound the same

[coelacant]

Spur is good people- I emailed them about the disintegrated rubber foot on my Kickstarter bell and they just gave me a code for a replacement for free, cool! so I ordered another black little bell to make it worth their trouble.

I only have a decent ear but I have one of each and to me they are the same pitch.

[EricChanning]

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered a few for my next builds. I can never seem to have too many but I say the same thing about bikes.

Ha! I noticed that too, and was going to congratulate him for being less OCD than most other roadies.

[chiasticon]

I think you meant to quote Hilltopperny's post with the photo. My top cap is always aligned -- would be embarrassed to have it seen in Vecchio's otherwise (just in case you were there doing a beer drop off:))

My Alliance is wearing a Lion of Flanders top cap to complement the Belgian homage color scheme...and he is standing upright, proud, tall and straight!
