Sports reviews of Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror
Customer Review: Great quality, easy installation
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a really nice mirror! Installed in about 5 minutes, and adjusts easily. Took the bike for a "test drive" with this new mirror, and was pleased with the performance and view in the mirror. Probably wouldn't break unless your bike wasn't properly supported or laid down when not riding!
Looking forward to a long and fun riding relationship with this mirror!
OVER A YEAR LATER:
This mirror has proved to be very durable. It's been on my bike since my initial review, and has been bumped into a few times. It's been pivoted numerous times (I turn it in when storing the bike, chaining it up, etc.) and is holding together quite well. I'd still recommend this product.
Customer Review: If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Great product. As others have said - quality and design are outstanding.
Installation literally took about 10 minutes (even with cutting out the end of handlebar). Instructions are well written and illustrated. The way it tightens into the handlebar end is very creative and holds tightly.
I loved it so much I bought my wife one for her bike - which installing the second time around was even easier.
It is installed on a Forge Saranac CM Path and Trail Bike. Now that I have a mirror like this, I couldn't imagine biking without one.
Highly recommend! As the title states - if I could give more than 5 stars, it would have easily been a 6 or 7. :)
Customer Review: Just a great little mirror
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for my wife at the local bike shop, for the usual safety reasons. However, after finding myself forever craning my neck to see if I was getting too far ahead of her on our little rides together, I decided that I needed one too. Got it for a about four dollars less on Amazon. It installs easily and securely to the end of the handlebar--though (as per the instructions) you may need to cut through the grip rubber at the end of the bar, and remove the little plug you find there. It has a great range of motion and a wide enough field of view. It's a simple thing, but I love it. Essential gear for a commuter. If I ever break it, I'll be buying another!Customer Review: As good as it looks!

This mirror looks great on my 2009 Trek 7.2 FX (blue and black). The main pieces are made out of a high-quality black plastic with metal where it counts. The mirror itself is convex for a great field of view and seems to have no defects. The mirror stays where you put it and I didn't notice any vibration unless the entire bike was vibrating. A great design that is well-engineered. You may need to buy a small exacto knife to cut out the end of your handlebar grip, but other than that everything you need is included. Riding on the streets of Chicago is much easier now. I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase and definitely recommend this mirror.Customer Review: Mirrycle MTB Bicycle Mirror

A great value and looks cool on my bicycle. It comes complete with detailed instructions and the appropriate Allen Wrench. The instructions call for using a knife to cut away the covering at the end of your handle bar. For a much safer installation, use a step-bit and drill.
If I were to fault this mirror in any way it would be this: From the photo it appears that the mirror's upright tube is flexible - it is not. Those baffles are just for show.
A rear-view mirror is an essential safety tool only following in importance the use of a helmet. I am a teacher and ride my bike over city streets to work every day.
