Described as making your bike look and sound like a motorbike :shock: , I can't think of anything that would make me look more stupid or sound more annoying...

Wow! this is like when you were a nipper and used to peg pieces of cardboard to your spokes, I'm ordering one for each side, tuning it so it sounds like an F16 then scaring the bejesus out of some ramblers....
Or possibly not0 -
Look like an upgrade of something we used to do as kids: fix the stick from an ice lolly or a plastic card to the seat stays so the spokes whack it as they go round. Never thought of adding anything to amplify the noise, though.
Think I had grown out of the notion it was cool by the time I was 9 or 10.....You don't need eyes to see, you need vision0 -

I suppose for kids it's a laugh and cool, I used to get a coke can, smack my front tyre into it hard so it enveloepd the tyre, rotate the wheel so the can was behind the forks and ride, sounded awesome, that was before expensive bikes/paintjobs/carbon and £30 for a tyre though.....
And I was only 110 -

says it all doesn't it.Not really active0 -
Uhm.. :shock: why?
Now if you're aged 4-11 it is awesome. Thereafter it slides into the "uberlame" category0 -

That's a pretty odd bit of kit, no doubt a craze kids will pick up on, but those in the know will avoid. Would love to see it smashed out of the Dragons Den...0

Much cheaper and more authentic. Not bad for 10p!0 -

Kinda grew out of it by the time I'd got my racer with the 'cow' handlebars though.....0 -

Aye, same here, bought some mega wide maga low rise cows from a mate, fitted them and thought they were the dogs haw haws....
Within an hour of fitting them whilst going down some steps at the end of our road, went arse over tit.
Not so bad I though, until I realised that the metal padals had ripped a 4 inch slit in my shin which was gaping open so you could see the shin bone...
I remember my mum's comment to this day, no "are you all right son", or anything like that but......"Why do you always do these things when your Dad's backshift!"
Happy days! 0
