Blackburn Multi Mirror Bike Mirror Review

I'm buying my second one - the first one has worn out after six years of use. I like this one better than others because it sticks out farther so you can see behind you better. It also has a hinge so that when it knocks into something, it doesn't break or fall off... also good for easily moving it to make the bike fit in the trunk better.
It's fallen off a lot recently, but I think in the first five years, it fell of once before I really tightened it down (it has a knob that makes it removable by hand, but the knob lines up flush with the arm so when the mirror is extended, it's not noticeable).

Blackburn Road Bike Mirror Review

This mirror, although the position is good when riding, is not practical. I was constantly trying to avoid hitting the mirror against anything such as a wall, pole or anything else. This is because it sticks out so much from the handlebars. You cannot flip your bike upside down to work on it with this mirror attached.

There is road vibration also. It takes a long time to figure out what is going on in the mirror. For example, at night there may be three cars behind you. But because of the vibration, it looks like 6 cars because what you see is 12 bouncing lights but it is really 6 bouncing lights from three cars with two headlights each.

Because of the optical curve, objects also appear different than in real life. So it is also hard to perceive depth. I returned mine and have a glasses mirror that works much better.

The reason I give it two stars is if you cannot wear a helmet or glasses mirror, then this mirror is better than riding unsafely with no mirror at all.

Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror Review

This mirror is fantastic.I bought it to replace a helmet mounted mirror when the stem broke on the helmet mount.I can't tell you how much better I like this bar-end mirror.It's much easier to find this mirror out of the corner of my eye, and it provides a very good view of what's behind me, both in the traffic lanes and directly behind me in the bike lane.

I did have to mutilate the grip on my handlebar to remove the plug and cut out and opening for the mirror, so just trying it out requires some commitment, but once it is mounted the installation looks clean.

I didn't have any significant trouble with the installation.The directions are a little bit unclear about what to do with piece that goes inside the bar (the directions say to "secure" it, but you need to leave it loose, securing only the nut, until it is inside the bar).If you look at the piece and think about how it's going to hold the mirror in place, it's pretty obvious what to do with it.

The mirror itself stays put very well on rides.It shakes a very little bit, but really onlylittle.The stability is surprisingly good for a piece for which it is so easy to adjust the angles.

All the parts can be replaced individually if broken for about $4 each plus shipping.
