Mother fucker
At least they’re decently priced for what the are. I was wondering if mine was gonna get deep dents like that but it turns out that Chinese brass is super fucking hard
[quote=kmcdon]I’ve seen more broken knogs than working ones. Friends bike, shopowner bike, the displays at multiple shops.

Tarck is a glorious collection of weirdos.

They seem super flimsy and they’re so quiet compared to the Spurcycle and Crane bells. The spring on the striker looks like it will snap easily, and the overall design is terrible. They serve one purpose, and that’s so you can say you legally have a bell on your bike. The bells included with almost every new complete bike in Australia work and sound better than the Knog bell.
Wait–they make you sell them with a bell on them too?
And I thought reflectors and pie plates were humiliating.
Tell me more about Australian bell law.
I think the knog fails the efficient directive.
Use a bigger hammer

Fuck Australia
Present company excepted of course
Does having the rubber stuck in there allow you to tighten that bolt up more? To get my rock bros bell to ring properly I can’t tighten that bolt down as tight as I would like which means the bell can spin on the bar with a little pressure.
Yes some sort of non-metal washer is required. Metal on metal will suppress the ring. I was going to start experimenting with different materials for that but the fucking head of the hammer fell off
I have a old tube I just cut up last night for something else. I can use a piece of that for my bells!
Tried that. It’s too grippy and will start twisting up with the screw as you tighten down on it and it will break apart. At least IME
shit. i forgot to try it last night anyways. What do recommend?
Maybe some sort of stiffer rubber would work like a piece of old tire. I think a leather washer would probably be perfect
If you don’t have leather on hand you could try a wet innertube piece. Water will prolly stop it gripping too hard. Or oil, which could break down the rubber but who cares in that application.
Brilliant!
