Sports reviews of Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror
Customer Review: Very well built product
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This mirror is replacing a previous end of bike handle mirror. This new mirror is a very sturdy design and the mirror has curvature which is very useful. Very well constructed. Screws that hold the mirror onto the mounting arms go into brass bodies that do not permit the screws to loosen. The instructions tell you that the Allen head screws are take significant force to install and that you don't need to be afraid you'll break the plastic handles. They were right. I was impressed how strong the plastic was based on the force required to tighten the screws. This is a very well built system which won't need constant adjustment.Customer Review: AUTOMOTIVE QUALITY!!!!

AUTOMOTIVE QUALITY!!!!
What can be said about a bicycle mirror??
Well, in short, this mirror sets the standard by which
All bicycle mirrors SHOULD be judged! The "other" brand mirrors
aren't anywhere near this quality!
NO-it may not survive the impact of your bike falling over-but would any other mirror??
Automotive mirrors DON'T SURVIVE light/mild impacts....Hmmm.....
Especially when this mirror mounts to the end of the handle bar!!
Anyone aware of a mirror like this THAT WILL survive a blow-contact me immediately!
Customer Review: The best I've had. Can be used without second arm...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I've had a few mirrors, bar and helmet, but have settled on the Mirrycle.
I suppose it's a negative that if you drop the bike it can break, but it's hard to make a mirror which will never break.
I've generally used it leaving out the second (roughly horizontal) arm. It doesn't serve much purpose as far as I'm concerned, and adds unwelcome width filtering through traffic. Perhaps it would be less prone to breakage if I used it as is.
I'm going to try tucking it down and inwards next time - if that works it should keep my profile slim and be break resistant. We'll see.
Customer Review: Outstanding product--repair parts even available
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is simply an aoutstanding product; all the parts are highest quality. For example, it includes a special threaded brass (read won't rust!) locking screw thread for the adjuster so that once you tighten the mirror, it won't loosen and move about. There's no shake to the mirror (I have it mounted on a comfort bike with front suspension). In this day of disposable products, you can also purchase a replacement mirror lens at a reasonable price. The mirror mounts in many positions and can be mounted above the handle bar or below. A super-high quality product at a very reasonable price.Customer Review: Stable, quality with perfect view
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was looking for a rugged mirror that would stay put and also allow easy adjustment. My typical ride takes me on about 75% blacktop and 25% graded rock country roads. This mirror is very stable. I have had this mirror a month and the only adjustment I have to do to it is when I manually move it to store the bike. The convex mirror ( some call it fish eye ) is just enough so you get an excellent field of view but not too much too where things look distorted. The installation was very easy and is very sturdy. I would recommend this mirror to anybody who rides in or near traffic.
