In order for the mirror to slide into my hand grip, I had to cut a hole in the grip. Getting a mirror up and running is very easy - no special skills required
As long as I remember to look at it when I am behind a car and that it is adjusted properly, I can see it on my drop bar bike.
On my road bike with drop bars, I like this mirror, but I notice it vibrates a lot. It's okay on smooth flat roads at 15 mph or so, but if you hit 30 mph down a chip-paved road, you have to slow down The road will be sealed so that you will be unable to see anything. Ideally, you should ride in the drops where the weight, pressure, and compliance of your arms and hands do their part to dampen
There were holes in the bottom half of the mirror to keep it attached to the

My hesitation stemmed from the fact that I had to cut a hole. Reviewing first impressions is what we do here. That's what I like. It seemed like a major undertaking to cut a hole into my grip, but it turned out to be no problem. Then, I pushed it through after cutting it small. The plastic coller can break off if you do not watch it because it will catch and catch. It expands the coller to fit your size bar as soon as you tighten it with the Allen wrench. The only thing you need to watch out for is that you don't overtighten. There's a possibility that it may break due to its plastic construction. The mount I used allows me to turn in the mirror as often as I like without having to do so with my hands obstructed and the mirror is close enough to me to be useful. I really like this mirror because of its great Although it has some limitations, considering it's plastic, you will not regret buying this.
Neither a bike mirror nor a helmet mirror is perfect. A combination of bar-coding systems and biometrics is likely to be more effective than A mirror on the end of a pole (like this one) plus a mirror on a helmet or glasses Taking this mirror into account, here is what I have to say A pro is As I pedal, I can see my quads. It actually looks like I have some quads if the light is right. The downside is As I pedal, I can see my quads. The photograph reminds me that I'm never going to have those huge legs that some guys (and gals) have. * PRO Checking the approaching traffic with a glance downward is quick and easy. The downside is As I look at the mirror, I'm closer to the road than my helmet. There is no mirror mounted on the wall, so picking out vehicles is more difficult. A pro is It doesn't take much to get a better understanding of it. The downside is The only way to look ahead is to look down. With time, it is probably going to get better. *PRO It isn't necessary for me to crane my neck high up to see the mirror while riding "in the drops" on a fast downhill. (The main reason I bought the mirror was the neck issue. 1) The Con It is not useful to have a mirror when standing. It is still possible to view the mirror on your helmet. The rest of the br>The image shakes as a result of vibrations from the road surface. I mounted it. The field of view is excellent. Even after four rides, I've still got to tighten the adjusting screw to ensure that the mirror isn't shifted when I hit a bump. This is annoying.
Amazon simply wrapped a piece of cardboard around each of the two mirrors, which came in separate boxes. By the time it arrived, one of the mounting screws had been lost. I got an additional screw after a week of waiting. (Seller was very responsive. accustomed to having something at the end of the bar, and a minor bump with my hip at a traffic stop can cause the mirror to move.
Since I got a new bike, its coolness has been lowered considerably! The next day, I bought a 50-pound bag of dog food and took it out for a walk This tour takes you from street to street and along When I then realized I was safer than ever before, I was thrilled. As I no longer need to crane my head to see behind (OK, yes, I am in my eighties and too stiff to bend down), I can see my lane and the one next to it clearly. Having this in conjunction with my Garmin Varia rear view radar allows me to be aware of cars coming up and even anticipate when they are about to pass. You wouldn't know whether the car was on the next lane or about to hit you from the rear if you didn't look behind you. The radar alone does not work, however. It will take me some time to get used to the mirror, although I tightened the screw as much as I could, I had to readjust it several times as it hit my leg when I got off the saddle at traffic lights. Therefore, I docked one star. It vibrates on rough roads, but the mirror is large enough to see behind, so you can still see what is behind. (I selected the 68mm version). While I am still testing several more mirrors, I will probably go on a few more rides before knowing if this is the bike for me. At least for my first bike, this is most likely the one I will keep. In spite of my friend's claim that I looked no less uncool than she thought I did, yeah, I believe I did look uncool. This is fine with me, I will appear uncool, but I will be safer out It is always worth it to contribute even a little. It will never happen to me again to ride without a mirror.
worked just as I thought it would and allowed me to see my rear. It seemed that some people did not have the ability to see through it or had difficulty positioning themselves with This small mirror does not hinder my vision, because I do not need to see perfectly through it. The just wanted to know at a glance if anyone was coming, which is exactly what this does. I thought setting my camera at an angle that saw past me and got a good view of the scene behind me was reasonably easy. Aren't my handle bars wider than they used to be? These are just the ones that came with the bike, so I don't know what they're like. Although I have not seen any issues with it, I am quite happy with it.
Mirrors are usually rubbish in my opinion. That's why I hate it so much. Seeing anything clearly is very difficult due to the vast amount of distortion present. In order to determine if there is an approaching car if I can see something, I need to look more than once. Getting the larger size was a good decision. This does mount fine and the rotation(s) are okay as well, but it will mean nothing if the image quality isn't up to scratch. My nah comment is that this is a bad idea. This is not something you should get. The problem is, I don't think there's anything better out there.
