    Someone will talk about Air Zounds.

    Someone else will get angry about this.

    A third person will explain how they shout at the filthy peds.

    It's a nice horn though! I used to have one of the bells with the eyeball in it.

    I'd love one of those for pedestrians that walk in the middle of the road, or cars that honk at you when they want to overtake.

    What I need is a train horn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpa8whzwAE

    Any chance you could redo that sign alt block in crayon?

    Just a thought :roll:

    No dude its all good but crayon adds an element of total and complete fruit loop, which i'm sure we're all more happy with.

    It says look at me I'm not allowed access to sharp objects :D

    I have one like that ready to go on my fixed wheel when I finally bother to finish it off. Can't use it on any other bike I have due to 31.8mm bars on all of them.

    heh!

    get a wheel set with a load freewheel like the fulcrams and you'll find for most part bells etc are unneeded.

    Just for the record - Kieran, I added the words "Watch this" to an earlier post. 8)

    Oh, and those fulcrum wheels sound AWFUL. I had always assumed they gave out a lovely soothing noise.

    that wasn't a fulcram hub which is a less winey sound more of a clack.
