hard to get the knack but it is great when i figure it out |
i am still learning how to use this so that it always sounds when i think it will
you have to fidget with a certain knob to fill it with air
you have to fidget with a different knob to increase/decrease the volume
the knobs are hard to get at once it is attached to my handlebars
there is one piece with a foam backing that pops off everytime i air it up
i know this sounds super problematic
it IS annoying
but in the long run, the once a wk or so that i need to blast a vehicle that is skating a foot from my left elbow to communicate "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" it is worth it
it is so worth it
did i say it is worth it?
really
i feel like i just yelled expletives and i think they heard them
that's how good it works
for me
and i have issues
bicycling all the time
never driving
never
ever

Great horn! |

Excellent product for the bike rider who wants their presence known in a loud way. Lite weight, well made. Plastic construction of trigger just ok. |

Very Effective, A Few Drawbacks |
I bike commute in San Francisco downtown traffic two days a week. Our toddler is on the back in a Chariot CX2. With this precious cargo on board, I want to be seen and HEARD. So with that introduction here are the pros & cons.
PROS: It's loud, get's the attention of drivers and pedestrians (even iPod wearing drones). The volume is adjustable via a valve that pinches the air hose to varying degrees. The thumb trigger is within easy reach. Overall the horn is very effective (and kinda fun).
CONS: The horn is recharged via a standard Schrader valve. The valve is underneath the thumb trigger. You tip up the trigger to attach a pump to the valve. I think this was bench tested by someone in a lab with a nice skinny inflator attached to an air compressor. It is a giant pain to attach a regular bike pump to the valve. I've tried both an upright pump and a mini frame pump. Both of the pumps have a head on them with about a 1" diameter. It is almost impossible to mash the pump in next to the thumb trigger to refill the air reservoir. Also, the volume control valve, thumb trigger, and mounting clamp are all cheap plastic. They don't seem likely to be very durable.
Happy honking! |

It's Great ! |
This horn is so much better than my little ice cream sounding bell, people just don't think they need to look when they here that dum thing.
I always try that first just to be nice and if they don't react to that I just give them a short blast of this little baby !!!! And boy do they look around when they here that. Everyone who has a bike these days needs one just to be safe from all those careless souls with a phone glued to thier ear yapping away. |

Great horn, let down by low quality handlebar clip |
|
The horn is as good as most of the reviews point out - loud, simple to use etc. The one negative for me is that the clip to hold it on the handlebars is pretty cheap and nasty, and too small to use on my chunky mountain bike handlebars. I'd rather pay a few dollars more and get a nice flexible velcro & soft rubber strap that fits on & off quickly onto any tube size, as I got with my (admittedly expensive) Cateye lights (which are great btw). |
