IcemanGP Posted January 23, 2020 Share Good Day fellow beingsI am looking for a Rear View Mirror to fit to my MTB.Reason: I am looking after my Granddaughters (3 and 1 yr) and as you all know, riding is my sanity and it took a back seat for a while, so now I have a trailer to put them in, my problem is that I hardly feel that they are there and I have to keep looking behind me to make sure. My neck hurts like hell that I can hardly move for a few days after.I will really appreciate any help, or pointing me in the right direction. I am in the Midrand area.Thanking you all in advance.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 23, 2020 Share Read those, didn't see anything about Rearview Mirrors .....Ok, Where do you want to put the mirror? The guy in those posts has a mirror on the end of his bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanGP Posted January 23, 2020 Share Ok, Where do you want to put the mirror? The guy in those posts has a mirror on the end of his bars.Anywhere where I will be able to keep an eye on the trailer behind me, without breaking my neck. Not as young as I once was, so constant head turning lets me suffer a few days after. So yeah, something on the end of the bars would be ideal. I have tried Cycle Lab, and Solomons, and they don't have. So soucing a 2nd hand one is my next option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbarn Killer Posted January 23, 2020 Share There was a helmet manufacturer that made a helmet with a rear view mirror. Cannot remember who made it or if it even took off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted January 23, 2020 Share Iceman I had a mirror on my commuter - HT MTB.  The mirror looks "out" to your right for cars .... I could not see anything "behind" me. In fact, a car had to be close, and to the side, fo me before it would enter into my mirror .... rather useless, so I removed it.  In my searches I found nothing that would be able to "look behind your".  you will have to make up a long stemmed motorcycle type mirror ... with one LONG stem ....

DJR Posted January 23, 2020 Share You don't need a rear view mirror, you need seat belts ChrisF, Dicky DQ and 428 others 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulienR Posted January 23, 2020 Share I have used this with success on a road and mtb - admittedly i was not looking for a trailer behind me but for cars...but it does have a fiar bit of adjustment so you can tailor to what you needhttps://www.cateye.com/intl/products/accessories/BM-45/ Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100Tours Posted January 24, 2020 Share https://www.rviactive.com/blogs/news/choose-the-best-rear-view-mirror-for-your-rides Don't know where you'd get it, but the eye-glass option has always seemed to be best to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joevan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Go to any motorcycle dealer or scooter spares dealer, they should have a range of mirrors, including ones that clamp on the bars and ones that fit in the end of the bars.Rearview is excellent, I use them on my Tadpole trike.
