I bought the RockBros bell. The Spurcycle bell, US made or not, is overpriced to my mind. I pinged the bell in front of three other people when I'd removed from its' wrapping and their reaction was surprise to the point of shock at both the high volume and length of sustain. After fitting (hint: slacken the centre screw to give easier access to locate the metal strip), the performance remains the same. In this video, I can only think something is dampening the sound of the RockBros bell because mine sounds like the Spurcycle product. Incidentally, around two years ago, I replaced the steel seat post on my Brompton with a titanium one from RockBros. It cost £53 including postage at a time when the Brompification version was over £200. The quality of the saddle clamp is excellent and I've had no issues with the post at all. I'm expecting the bell to be equally functional but I admit only time will tell.
Very effective comparison. You're a man of few words, but you make a mean video. Thank you for the concise, straightforward and comprehensive look at these two similar - but very different - bells.
Knowing cyclists are from all over the world. I live in USA so I've made the decision. Support companies like Spur Cycle. They made the decision to keep production in house. Inferior materials and manufacturing processes make or break a product. Anyone whining about cost try eating at or not going to the pub a few times. Boom, you've saved for the better bell already. After all, it's people's greed and wanting everything for free that has caused soo many companies cutting corners to deliver. Sorry, cheap, fast, quality, and free doesn't exist. True, it's going on a bike, but who takes pride and loves their bike so little as to mate it with knock off bits? Spur ftw
Thanks for the video! Definitely won't get the rockbros. Your video showed the difference in thickness of the bell itself. Love to know the difference with a set of calipers. Thanks again!
@@Shishou_Shi No, the Spurcycle is made in the U.S. by adults. The Rock Bros on the other hand is made in China, perhaps even by children as you surmised.
xxgg I think $30 would be a reasonable albeit high end price most people would pay to treat themselves to a better quality bell. But at $60 it's priced too high.
I'd like a bell that has a sharp ping but not the lasting ringing. What you want is to get someone's attention with the strike of the bell, not annoy your companions with a lasting tone.
Just bought the Spurcycle. The Chinese one is cheap imitation. You get what you pay for. Built in USA. Creates jobs and profits for the U.S. Will last a lifetime, a bargain. I have bought to much foreign crap for a cheaper price only having to replace it 6 months later, if it performed at all. Go Spurcycle.
+Rob Ms Thanks. I have had mine now for several weeks and WOW that baby sings! The installation is very cool and the build quality amazing. This puppy will last the rest of my life. Again, sounds amazing. No regrets.
SuperSpineman Bro, if it costs $60 for this simple bell to be made the USA, then something is wrong. What else, would you pay 85$ for a USA made snow shovel. At that rate a 25$ DVD player would be $600 USA made.
ultimaetsolder quality cost money. non slave labor cost money lifetime construction costs money. anything else is "fools gold". cheap crap, is cheap junk. no deal, get real.
My Rockbros - in this video here somehow incorrectly attached - sounds just like the Spurcycle. Sorry, and I am ashamed of myself, but a difference of 40 Euros really matters...
so lame that "Rockbros" is attempting to rip off Spurcycle. It would be fine if they came up with something cool on their own, but to just rip off someone else's design shouldn't be supported.
Ok...so I just received my Rockbros bell, matte black. Very tiny, maybe 1.25". Once installed, it rings out just fine, plenty of sustain! Every bit as loud AND pleasing as the spurcycle. This guy just tightened the Rockbros bell TOO tight. IMHO, one can adjust the sustain by simply tightening the mounting screw. Just like tuning a musical instrument, say a cymbal, or any kind of mounted bell.
Spurcycle is quality, but not that, IT IS THE ORIGINAL - as in Made AND DESIGNED in the USA. Please support well-made quality original products! I just ordered one (black) and already thinking of just going ahead and getting two more for the kids!
The spurcycle has has a nice clear sound but it does resonate a little too long. It could be annoying. You just want a quick ring and the Rock has a higher ping pitch! I will go with Rock bros. Love that sustain on Spur though. Maybe both. lol
Thanks for the review. I got a knock off labelled M-Wave for 7,99€ from Bikeinn. An original Spurcycle would cost me more than 78,00 €. and it can be made in USA or even Mars but with 78€ you can feed a third world family for one year. Just bells. Nuff said.
Rockbros has dissonance. Spurcycle is clear. My human ears like and pay attention to Spurcycle. I’m hoping the bear pay attention to Spurcycle too! I’ll let you know.
You call those bells? Really some marketed those thuds as a bell? genius developer,,ever thunk the hammer is suppose to return back off bell? Thud,,,,,Really???????
So, is everyone whining about $50 riding a Walmart bike? Seriously, still on v-brakes? What kind of helmet and riding shoes are you sporting? Is your vehicle 30 yrs old with bald tires? Every product I've ever used or purchased worked directly to its price. Only a bell, or only a company that has made a inferior product because they chose to produce it cheaply.. Keep buying cheap coffee and tea too and I'll keep supporting fair trades /labor. We're just humans anyways
Lmao, they're the same bell, made in the same factory by the same children but it gets sold anywhere from 10-50€/$ depending on branding. You cannot tell me otherwise unless you have physical proof.
ROCKBROS is a piece of junk and the spring quickly fails , the Spurcycle is nice but $60 is way too expensive for a bell, and will be looking to different products and much more affordable brands.
The Spurcycle is much better. But I'm glad the Chinese make knockoffs . As a European I will never buy american anymore. With Trump president and braking the world I will never give a cent to an american company. Degoogling, demicrosofting, etc. This is a great design and the Chinese knockoff is good enough. Thanks Rockbross for bringing this great design to people who don't want to finance america.
I've never seen (and from this test, still have virtually never heard...) such ineffective and overpriced bicycle bells. My $7 Accmor bell from Amazon kicks both of their asses. LOUDLY!

Wow! The Spurcycle bell rings forever. Thanks for the comparison.
Definately a cleaner sound but come on. It's going on a bike, not on the London philharmonic orchestra.
Lol good one :)
U ROCK BRO... HAHAHA
With my tread tires, creaky bottom bracket, White Industries free wheel and my Spurcycle, I sound like a mobile version of The Blue Men Group.
😂😂😂😂 made my day 😂😂😂😂
and i'm no oil sheik....50$ ??? I build it 1:1 and better with gold finish for 20$- hahahaha
My Spurcycle has been worth every penny spent... Quality Product made In the USA

My bicycle was hand built in the USA using as many US-based mfg companies as possible. This will be the icing on the cake 😏
Anyone charging $60 for a freaking bike bell is just asking for it to be copied and sold at lower cost. Made in the US is not an excuse to overcharge!
His Rockbros bell is installed incorrectly. If he unscrew the bell a little bit then it would sound completely differently
You are right. My Rockbros sounds just like the Spurcycle. Sorry, and I am ashamed of myself, but a difference of 40 Euros really matters...
I agree, too tight. back it off half or quarter turn.

So worth 5 times the cost for you?
I would buy for sure if it was about $30.
xxgg I think $30 would be a reasonable albeit high end price most people would pay to treat themselves to a better quality bell. But at $60 it's priced too high.
xxgg I found one online today for $34. Sold. (The price was ONLY for the raw.)
Ben Sutter I have a couple of those. They are very nice. I like the copper plate.
Where at? Add the link.
The price isn't too much ... they forged by Dwarf Blacksmith out of Mithril and the ears from every Orc will explode if he hear this magic BING!!!!

They look quite the same, but when you make them sound... wow. Spurcycle is made in USA, Rockbros is the china bad copy.
The striker on my ROckbros fell off on the first ride. Luckily enough it fell on my garage when i was back from the ride.
But great value for 10 USD.

Agreed. My RockBros sounds exactly like the Spurcycle in the video. DCAVegas has stuffed something up with his installation.
Spurcycle for sure. The RockBros sounds muffled

Buy once, cry once.
exactly. the quality pays off later down the road. specially if you ride a lot and in da elements.
Rockbros 2 thumbs down. No comparison! Spurcycle is the best!
can you compare it to Crane E-ne Bell?
Tinnitus.
Not many spurcycle bells to be found on ebay.
Ouch!!! My ears! Spurcycle sounds much louder, that's a fact.
The spurcycle has has a nice clear sound but it does resonate a little too long. It could be annoying. You just want a quick ring and the Rock has a higher ping pitch! I will go with Rock bros. Love that sustain on Spur though. Maybe both. lol
If you adjust the mounting screw, you can change the sustain.
more importantly, how did you even attach them? such a pain.
People have head phones on now aday anyways and will never hear it
How loud loud are they, though? Neither sounds penetrating enough.....
They are very loud. The Rockbros is easily loud enough to be heard from over 100 meters away.
Thanks for the review.

Nice video. Less talk , less drama
SpurCycle has a lifetime warranty. End of point.

Your lifetime or the bell's lifetime? ;-))))
Spurcycle still win. Too bad its to expensive

How do they compare to the £3.95 version I bought on eBay?
spurcycle for shure!!!
All I get is a clapper sound.
Rockbros is Chinese Copy-cat brand.
Never recommended. Finally you will buy good one in the near future.
The thinner material of the original one make the difference, that is.
R.I.P my ears.
За 50 баксов конечно звук лучше.
Tun tun tin.. Steam engine is coming
THANKS !! Now I know not to buy either one of those - - - - ->>>>>
Both worthless in traffic.

I agree, I've got the Spurcycle and ding is so high pitched even dogs don't notice it. Waste of money...
