Designed to fit round bars with an internal diameter of 18mm or 22mm, the SPRINTECH road bicycle drop bar mirror plug has a minimum and maximum dimension of 18mm and It is possible that they will fit some oval bars, however the internal dimensions would need to be closer to the 22mm measurement than the 18mm measurement. When inserted we have found it helps if the bar end plug is softened in hot water. After the plug is inserted all the way, don't try to take it out. It will break off if you do.
The down turned handlebars on these should fit on all sizes of bikes
Without removing any bar tape, you should be able to remove your existing plug(s) and install the mirror. The seats fit snugly in the chair and do not move when I kneel on them. I think these mirrors are amazing and very useful. Without them, I would not be able to ride.

It's mirror cycle versus mirror cycle. The take-home message Put on your glasses and look around It is a mirror mounted on the wall. The minute you are used to having a rearview mirror, it's hard to go without it. Seeing over your shoulder is not replaced by it, but I appreciate that it adds a level of awareness and safety. In addition, it provides me with a way to check fellow riders so I don't lose them on climbs 1) I am familiar with this, the Mirrycle, and the Take-Apart Put on your glasses and look around It is a mirror mounted on the wall. The Mirrycle is bigger and less convex so it gives you a better view of the road at all times. But if aerodynamics, speed, or style aren't important to you, then I'd get one for my city/gravel bike. However, as for my road/speed bike, I have this and I'm quite happy with it as well. Sometimes it gets bumped when I get out of a saddle and needs to be adjusted, but I find it is mostly still in a position that affords me a good view of the road ahead of Despite the fact it is very easy to adjust and actually shows the road better from all kinds of riding positions than the Mirrycle, it is quite convex, so it can be difficult to see vehicles in the distance, especially when they are not lit up. It was a big bust for me when it came to the glasses mirror - Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get that thing adjusted so that I could see without constantly moving my head around. In addition to this, it's very close to your eye which I consider extremely dangerous in a case of accident, and it's amazing how often the sun would reflect right into my left eye so I would have to put my head in an uncomfortable position to avoid That's all I have for now. Enjoy your time outdoors, and stay safe!.
My heart swells at the thought of The drop bars of my Vilano Forza 3 were mounted to the brackets. This was my first road bike. I had to trim grip tape from inside the bar after installing the grip tape- Fit these properly by trimming their ends Knife Act). Here's a tip In a previous article, I advised using water as a lubricant to insert the plugs, but I found great results using dish soap. I like how the mirrors are built sturdy and seem to last a long time. The way they integrate into the handlebars is great. As long as they're adjusted correctly, they keep their position well, though they can be pushed a bit by hard bumps. On a daily basis I cycle along a college campus and along a few busy streets in the city Having these things can literally save your life. to be able to keep an eye on cars behind you (and incoming bikes) to ensure your safety. Although it may take a bit to get used to looking down at the mirrors, it will become second nature.
I had one (single) Cat Eye BM- on my bike before I bought these. It is possible to attain 300G with this mirror pair. It's an absolute pleasure to deal with I am still concerned about the decrease in surface area, but I believe there is enough for safety. In comparison with the Cat Eye, these two offer a larger viewing area. My mirror-checking habit is a bit old school when it comes to driving and riding (I check my mirrors every few seconds. 1) The mirrors are properly shaded, and the view is clearly visible. It does not matter if I switch between the bar and the drops , I retain the correct While I was in the drop, I blocked my other mirror with my arm. )
These mirrors are highly recommended.
Since I began logging in 1992, I have logged more than 100K miles, and I wish I had gotten a mirror sooner. Aside from enhancing safety, it does a lot more. In some reviews, it is noted that the images are smaller, but I can easily discern cars at 150 feet or more, enough to make a meaningful judgment about whether I can merge safely into a lane, which is my main reason for wanting to see what is approaching behind me. As in the following example, I installed both mirrors in cases in which I am driving on my right in a given direction and want to see what is approaching on my left. When I check my mirror, it takes about a second and I am not required to alter my position on the bike, as I would be if I were looking My world is complete when I see the mirrors from all sides (hoods, tops, In the mirrors, I adjusted the horizon so that the outside of my thigh was just visible at the top, and the outside of my thigh was just visible at the middle edge. The mirrors need to be adjusted slightly with each ride as it is easy to move them when mounting the bike or transporting it on a car rack, but this is not a problem. I have not bumped the mirrors when mounting or dismounting the bike. The plug was inserted with the aid of a thin film of liquid hand soap, followed by the fitting of the It is nice to have mirrors that blend in with the handlebar line and are unobtrusive.
I didn't have to use any tools to install them on two different bar brands. the pair was split up. The two were set up on a road bike and a gravel bike, installed each on the traffic side]
They were easy to adjust, and they stayed put throughout a frosty ride. Also, rabbit hopping a sewer grate is fascinating to me. I don't have to worry about them catching on my clothing or leg. It's easy to see approaching cars when the daytime driving lights are on, especially when the car is facing the front. Despite their lack of headlights, these cars are also visible My experience was that I had no difficulty using them from the drops or from Please note that you need to try them on a quiet road, and that you may need to adjust the mirrors to a more "outboard" position, otherwise you will end up seeing My overall impression is that I am longer do you have to twist and turn to check for approaching cars.
