Sounds exactly like that $35 kickstand I put on my bike which instantly fell
over and that stand went right in my junk drawer that I might get five bucks at
a swap meet.

Hey, who wants to hear a funny story? I ordered two mirrors - one bar end, one
on-the-bar. Tried the bar end first, that was a no-go. Would work great with
straight bars but not the Boscos I love.
So, I tried the bar mounted mirror. It fell apart as I was tightening the screw.
I broke it. Fast
I use the German mirror and the Take-a-look helmet mirror simultaneously.
The German mirror is a nice, wide look at what's behind me, but it makes
objects seem farther away than they are. The Take-a-Look mirror seems to be
a better gauge of how close cars are coming up behind me. As others have
This is why I love this group.
For two years I’ve been thinking about getting a mirror so that I can see
the people with silent bikes overtaking me before they yell “On your left”.
I check, and Leah has started a thread. Motivation. Three days later I’m
trying out a Hafny mirror. Thanks, Leah
Any one have the berthoud mirror that can take pictures of how it reflects

I've never felt the need for a mirror on my normal bike, but when I got my
Ebike I discovered that it's pretty easy to get crosswayz going 20+ MPH if
you are constantly checking behind you.
I first bought an Electra bike mirror and while I liked the look of it, the

I have the same issue, I have the German mirror on my Boscos and have never
been thrilled with them, I don't like the "everything is far away" convex
feature. I love my Mirricyle bar-end mirrors on flatbars, but Leah's right
that they don't work well in that position on pullbacks (and look lame
It sounds like the Hafny is a good choice. But I do run bar ends on some of
my bikes. I generally put mirrors on my upright bikes. I like the Riv
German mirror. It has its little flaws, but it does the job and I think it

Keep using the German mirror. Not sure if you’ve done the following, but
make the mirror loose enough to twist on the bar. This helps allow for more

Leah,
Like you, I want everything on my bikes to be put together well. I
understand your thinking about the clunkiness of a bar-end mirrors. Still,
I want to put a word in for them and make a recommendation. In August,

I've been using CycleAware reflex helmet mirrors for many years. The mirror
arm has a swivelling ball attachment to the mount that sticks to the side
of the helmet, and can be quickly removed with a knife or flat screwdriver
blade for transport.

Have you thought about mirrors that clip onto your glasses? I see they now
also have a helmet adapter.
