'Fang'. ... must be showing my age (36).

I understood fang. Maybe it's an east coast - west
coast thing.

$45 IIRC well worth it, its the only bike horn I've seen
(heard...) which I *know* will be heard inside a car with
the stero blasting

I thought it was more like $60, but that's Sydney prices,
and I could be wrong... *shrug*

I've found one link which has it at $49.95 inc GST:
cyclelink.com.aucategory353 1.htmOpen ↗ so you could
get it for $45 at Rebel with the club 5% discount.

I was thinking about getting one of these for my commuter,
dinging the bell at peak-hour doesn't cut it.

I'm going to hunt one down this weekend and put the new
tyres on hold.

Mr flyingdutch, would you please let everyone else know
what you are replying to. WTF is this about?

He's replying to message-id
[email hidden] by "gravelmuncher".
Apparently cyclingforums.com is doing weird things to the
references which is why there's a bunch of posts that
logically belong in the same thread not grouping properly.

A bit of quoting to put things in context wouldn't hurt.

I do, but I'm originally a country Victorian...?

Went for a 'fang' today with my new rear wheel...

hippy

There is one problem with young kids on these paths....many
parents think they are ideal track for having kiddies learn
how to ride bikes...

This is in fact the opposite...I have had several instances
where I have used my bell to warn of my presence only to
have the kiddie turn around and therefore lose all control
over where they are going creating a big problem....

Teach the kiddies at home!!!!!!

Just wondering, you guys in the lycra, nearly all going
through a midlife crisis or what? little kids on a
"SHARED" path and [censored] riders flying past yelling watch
out!!! what a pack of losers, it's a shared path for
christ sake! if you want to ride like real tossers use the
road and yell at the cars. at least they'll hit you back.

Damn but that mother is loud! It's a good thing it's got a
volume control. Maximum volume will give old people heart
failures. But no-one will ignore
it.

I got Cecil Walker's last one ($44.95, as expected). They
thought they were out of stock and apparently the
distributor doesn't have any stock either due to demand, but
I spotted it gathering dust in the corner of their window
display. If anybody is really, truly, ultra-desperate for
one then Penny Farthing has two, also gathering dust but
that's because they've got $59 stickers on them. I really
like the guys at Penny Farthing but their prices are simply
too Middle Park for me.

The only problem now is that I've got a new toy but I can't
play with it. It's driving me nuts.

I've got mine mounted on the LHS of the handle bars, and
before I got used to this new lump on the bike I would
accidently set it of almost every time I carried the bike,
which my flat mates really appreciated when I came home at
4:00am after gigs...

[Stuff about air horns]

I was talking to a guy on a trike yesterday, he said the air
hose for his zounds burst on that really hot day (~40C) the
other day... It did look a little sun-hardend though, and I
know he's had it mounted there for at least more than a
year... hmm maybe two.

I guess that can happen to any plastic gear. Then again, the
thing is made in Canada and what do they know about
sunlight? :-)

Hi Theo:

Is that a quote from "Finding Nemo"? It's sounds very familiar...

Never saw "Nemo". It's a quote from Theo Bekkers. :-)

Theo

Yeah, I don't remember the exact wording, but the meaning is basically the same. It's a clever and funny way to look at the age issue.

Cheers,
