I don’t know how I ever lived without it
I’ve been commuting to work for more than 2 years now, during the summer days. This year, I finally got sick of twisting my head to see the traffic.

The best bike mirror I have ever seen!
This mirror is so easy to put together and stays on good and tight! I was afraid it would wobble and make it hard to see, but it is very easy to adjust and it stays in place…
This mirror is fantastic. I bought it to replace a helmet mounted mirror when the stem broke on the helmet mount. I can’t tell you how much better I like this bar-end mirror. It’s much easier to find this mirror out of the corner of my eye, and it provides a very good view of what’s behind me, both in the traffic lanes and directly behind me in the bike lane.
I did have to mutilate the grip on my handlebar to remove the plug and cut out and opening for the mirror, so just trying it out requires some commitment, but once it is mounted the installation looks clean.
I didn’t have any significant trouble with the installation. The directions are a little bit unclear about what to do with piece that goes inside the bar (the directions say to “secure” it, but you need to leave it loose, securing only the nut, until it is inside the bar). If you look at the piece and think about how it’s going to hold the mirror in place, it’s pretty obvious what to do with it.
The mirror itself stays put very well on rides. It shakes a very little bit, but really only little. The stability is surprisingly good for a piece for which it is so easy to adjust the angles.
All the parts can be replaced individually if broken for about $4 each plus shipping.

Bicycling safty
The quality of the mirror is well worth the money.The mirror was easy to preassemble before mounting on the bike.
After trying another on handlebar mirror we were happy to find this one. It is excellent, giving you an unobstructed view of the road behind with a substantial size mirror. The fold-away aspect helps with storage.
Excellent product – the mirror gives me a great view of what is behind without getting in the way and without vibration. Easy to fold up when not in use. This is one of those products you want two of so that if something should happen you have an immediate replacement. It’s not neccessary though since replacement parts are readily available. I can’t imagine riding without it.

Great once installed
I use a Giant Transend LX (the Honda Civic of commuter bicycles) to do my daily commute to work. It’s about 8 miles each way, mostly through neighborhoods and a few short…

My Second Purchase
Purchased a second bicycle and purchased this mirror to go on it. I don’t buy a product twice if I am not satisfied with it. Highly recommend.

Good Mirror . . .
The mirror is clear and easy to install. It is a convex mirror. It would loosen after a few bumps on the road if not tighten to the point that I would afraid it could break…

Fantastic Bike Mirror
I just installed my mirror and it is fantastic. WOW, there are no vibrations and you can see everything behind you.

Increased Street Safety
When one has to ride on a street, there is nothing like a rear view mirror to alert him or her to a vehicle approaching too closely from behind, providing an opportunity to know…

Not very durable.
I’ve owned three of these, but will buy no more; it’s too easily broken. It was easy to install, and it’s not too hard to adjust.
The biggest flaw is durability.

best bike mirror ever
Best bike mirror I’ve ever had, easy to install, easily swings out of the way when needed but does not loosen the mechanism.
