You can ring my bell!

[EebStrider]

Just ordered one for my other bike.

 

[CBSTD]

I had to google shoogle, just love the Scottish slang

If that works I think I'm going to get a timber bell.

Just been laughing at that and the memories!

Saw them at His Majesty's.

Being English, when I arrived in Aberdeen as a fresh-faced 18 year old for Uni, I was lost for about a week, trying to understand anyone! I needed a Glaswegian to translate! ?

 

[EebStrider]

Had a good opportunity to test the Timber today, and it works really well. Sometimes it wasn’t heard, but a waggle of the bars soon solved that. I did feel like the town crier riding around, and was tempted to shout Here ye here ye the whole time!

Sometimes it wasn’t heard, but a waggle of the bars soon solved that.

As I fell to the floor and screamed in pain, everyone turned around and was suddenly aware of my presence.

Arrived quickly from mtbriders. Seemed to work well this morning. Does get peoples attention and they move out of the way especially after giving it a shoogle!

 

[stiv674]

I lost count of the amount of times I shoogled yesterday...

 

[Tubby G]

I’m really enjoying my timber bell. Never knew how much pleasure a constant little ding would bring

Walkers hear me, politely step out of the way, and smile as I ride past. No need to slow down and break the momentum. Result

 

[stiv674]

As above, I've had mostly positve responses to the Timber Bell, although we still slow down a bit, it's a much more polite way to make yourself known.

Although, I did have one woman say my bell was too delicate, despite me shoogling quite vigorously

 

[Zimmerframe]

You know you're actually supposed to attach it to the handle bars ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

I think I might have to get one .. from the general feed back it seems like it's a great way to meet ladies on the trail and if not, it provides it's own pleasure .... ???

I haven’t had to shoogle, the terrain takes care of the dinging all by itself! I should have slowed down on one path today but it’s my favourite descent from the top of the moors so just whizzed past the walkers who had stepped out of the way at over 30mph whoops ?

it’s a massive long great climb to get there that takes over an hour and a 40 second descent. I wasn’t slowing down!

Meeting them is easy, it's keeping their attention that's the hard part, despite my best shoogling efforts...

Maybe that's because your bell is too delicate.

 

[stiv674]

Maybe that's because your bell is too delicate.

That's the least of my worries

 

[Mini si]

Honestly can’t believe how popular shoogling is nowadays, I’d never even heard of it a couple of weeks ago.

Timber Bell is a bit tricky to mount discreetly, but I ended up with it over the right hand brake lever where I can switch it on and off without letting go of the grip.

Nice and discreet, but it won’t be as loud as it can be, if the ball doesn’t have as much waggle room!

Actually doesn't make much difference so long as the bell isn't touching anything and can resonate

I’ll have a play around with mine, as I’d like a more subtle location for it.

Head mount instead of a go pro ?

I’ve got my dinger dangling dead centre and proudly on display to everyone ?

Is waggle room similar to shoogle room?

 

[stiv674]

I think they are two different things, you shoogle to make your ball waggle

Does that go over or under my helmet?

 

[EebStrider]

Waggle is back and forwards, shoogle is obviously left to right.?

 

[Zimmerframe]

That's a Bell helmet, it replaces your existing helmet ....

Ah ha!
