Like the look of those widek's though, may procure one for my current doer-upper crowriver on "bells" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6131#post-66021 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 06:37:20 +0000 crowriver 66021@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @SRD, you're welcome. I've tried a few bells but keep coming back to these. The sound just says 'bicycle' in such a classic way...

I could transfer a second Air-Zound from another bike for anyone else setting off from Harrison Park who has a free bottle-cage. The fitting is for handlebars of about 25mm max - if your bars are larger than that, you'd need a couple of zip-ties to secure it.

Nice tone indeed and not too flash-looking.

And if (huge if) I get the Sunbeam running (it's on the workstand...) then there will be a ruddy great big horn on the front. sallyhinch on "bells" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6131#post-65680 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:41:01 +0000 sallyhinch 65680@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ If you've got an android smart phone there's this <a href="http://www.dutchbikebits.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=49&product_id=266">free app</a> from David Hembrow's Dutch Bike Bits Tom on "bells" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6131#post-65645 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:37:41 +0000 Tom 65645@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ kaputnik: "I thought Rank's gong had been exposed as a fake?"

Although not sure you're looking to spend that much. I have also noticed that it functions fine in the wet, unlike the little "ping ping" bells most bikes are supplied with that refuse to vibrate in the damp.

Ring-ringers with the little thumb lever you don't see anymore which is a pity SRD on "bells" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6131#post-65596 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:34:25 +0000 SRD 65596@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I want a good ringing bell (not a ding ding) for POP28. TBC bells seem permanently not in stock. Do any of the shops nearer to me do a good bell that anyone would recommend? I also need to replace my mirror, if I can do both at once, i'll be very happy. TBW stocks the mirror I need, but probably not the bell.
