    So I got the Spurcycle bell last year - really because of your video. Thank you! It's an excellent bell and according to my phone's decibel meter app, it is about 105+ db. Very loud and people can hear it several hundred feet away - as long as they can hear the bell's frequency response.

    The spring on the rockbros is out of shape and the striker is misaligned (something that happens to the spurcycle bell eventually), 10 seconds and a pair of pliers and you wont tell the difference.

    On another video the Spurcycle only could generate 65db with a guy using a computer instead of a app on a phone, which makes me wonder how accurate the app is.

    • @AWriterWandering
      @AWriterWandering 2 роки тому

      I don’t think it’s an accuracy issue. Distance is a major factor when measuring decibels. The phone is registering a high decibels because it’s being held right next to the bells.

    • @AWriterWandering
      @AWriterWandering 2 роки тому

      Incidentally this means that decibel ratings are meaningless if the manufacturer doesn’t include a distance…

    @Niidea1986 5 років тому +2

    Honestly, my 3 USD classic spinning style bell sounds way better. Not as loud but as it rings several times while the lever is being pushed as well as when it is being released, it sounds for longer and is more noticeable. And it won't fail after 3 months as that "cheap" Rockbross knockoff, in fact, it has been happily ringing for 10 years despite being all rusty...I would either go big with that US made bell or go cheap with my generic no name bell, but never in the middle with that Rockbross, it fells like overpaying for something that doesn't even give you bragging rights.

Oh, spend time and months getting the kickstarter program together. It's your work, and you own it, .... then arrives a company that buys your product and copys it to exact specification and sell it for less. Why sure, they didn't do anything but copy it and yes, it should cost less. THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO EARN IT! I bought a Spurcycle yesterday, and this video only confirms my decision.

    However, Spurcycle is about $85AUD + $30AUD shipping. Rockbros is about $15AUD with free shipping.
