A little Spur-like (a good thing) apart from the price (a good thing).

Looks like it's 10x better than a Knog Oi for not much more money

Better than the Timber bell, which has no manual operation?

I have the Trigger bell, works great keeps my hands fully on the bars at all times.

If you get it in the STW shop, I'll have one, (maybe two) of those.

Windwave distribute Granite stuff so most local bike shops should be able to get them.

Big timber bell fan here..

Perfect for it's intended use of bombing rough bridleways and warning people of your presence.
I've had plenty of times when folk have already been stood out of the way as they heard me coming. Usually with a smile as it sounds like Santa is on his way.
It's a bit rubbish in anything else though as you have to wiggle your bars to make it ring. Still it's loud enough that most folk hear you.

Bought a cricket bell awhile back to see if it solves this problem.
Sadly it doesn't. It's just not loud enough in my opinion.

If only they'd made the bell part as big as the timber bell it might of been a winner.

My Timber! bell is great for horses as they are generally alert to their surroundings. Joggers with headphones and walking wandering around like a tit in a trance, not so much.

They have them on amazon for £18.90

ps; happy owner of three Timber bells here. Like the idea of the Granite one though.
