ibruegge Posted January 9, 2013 Share Have been playing with the thought, but have (stupidly, if we're honest...) thought they all look terrible, incl. Blackburn etc. Found this one, available in the US of A - anyone tried / seen it? Would you fit it to your bike? Have ordered one through a friend who is bringing it, as postage was more than the mirror, but maybe something we should bring into the country?

Big H* Posted January 9, 2013 Share The mirror area is just too small to clearly define what you are seeing. I used somthing similar made by Produx in Slaapstad. Just did not work. We now use the Cateye mirror that fits in the bar end. We remove it for races. Edited January 9, 2013 by eccentric1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is still better than not having any idea at all about what's going on behind yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchi Posted January 9, 2013 Share No I will not fit one to my bike as you can just glance quickly over my shoulder You should see what happens to some funriders [starts running] when they peek over their shoulders. They change 4 lanes without realising it. slowpoke, geecee and megdobson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is still better than not having any idea at all about what's going on behind yourself. It was a waste of time and money. Your handlebards is in comstant movement and the you cannot see what is happening behind you. The mirror with the larger surface is better. The bigger one works, is lightweight, may look ridiculous but EM on the back of the Tandem operates it and she can keep constant check of what is happening.
