spurcycle halloween seconds

[Jaybee]

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.

Thx! Just picked another one up.

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

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

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.

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!

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?

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

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.
