Bike Screw-on Side Back Mirror handlebar Mount (Convex)

The mirror is easily adjusted. All the fixings are firm and the mirror remains in position over potholes and rough ground. The arm is robust and does not vibrate so that the image in the glass is good. Probably the best bike mirror I have owned.

i find it incredulous that some people have rated it five stars....yes the build quality is good, yes it looks good on the bike, yes it was easy to fit but i actually think it is a dangerous piece of equipment to use. It is difficult to see in the distance, vehicles look like a tiny dot and far away when in fact they are no more than 3/4 metres away. I found i could hear cars behind me sooner than i could see them approaching me.... all i can say is it is better than nothing but there are safer products to buy. I agree with John if this was a concave mirror i would be giving it 5 stars.

This is a very good mirror, in the sense that it's strong yet bendable. You don't have to insert it into the end of your handlebars like so many others (not all of us have ends that can be inserted into - I use the GP3 palm grips by Ergon & the stubby bar ends mean that the grips aren't hollow).The tiltable mirror section is very sensible, working well in use, so that you don't need to adjust the whole angle of the arm, just press the side of the mirror & it moves within its circular casing.Interestingly, it comes supplied with a hexy tool & 2 spare screws but not 2 spare nuts (& these, not being glued in might become as necessary as the screws, so this aspect doesn't make sense).No shims are supplied but for my narrower tubes I just used a bit of spare inner tube (excellent cheap rubber home-made shim to aid grip) as my tubes are rather narrow, but once I did this it grips well.I personally found I needed about 4 hands to fit the thing though (although once it was on it's been great). This is because the 2 halves (the half with the arm/mirror section & the other half which goes on the opposite side of the handlebar) have to be totally separated before they can be done up. Trying to get the nut to stay in the hole & then put the screw in (without dislodging the nut), whilst holding it in place on the bike was very tricky indeed.What made it worse was the lack of length of what I'm calling the guide posts - 2 little "arms" on one half of the connection which align it with its other half. It's not until they're almost touching that they're of benefit.The length of the arm is fixed but you can change the angle quite considerably. Also, TG are a good company to deal with & I found them polite & responsive.All-in-all I'd definitely recommend them & this wing/rear-view mirror. It would've got 5 stars if shims were supplied, there were 2 spare nuts in addition to the screws, the nuts were glued in place & the guide posts were longer. Although to be fair, if the nuts were glued, then having longer "guide posts" would probably be redundant.Hope this helps.

Mirror make everything look very far away so you see a car only when it's about to pass you not very useful

The mirror is approximately 3 inches in diameter. It has a convex surface and fits on the handlebars by means of a semi-flexible stalk which attaches via two screws to the handlebars.I have given this 3 stars (I am tempted to give it 2) because it fulfils the basic function of acting as a rear view mirror - you can see whether there's anything approaching from behind. Apart from that, there's very little else to praise about it.Firstly on my bike (A hybrid), because it attaches via the bracket which goes round the handlebars (has to be on the metal bit, not on the rubberised grip) it is set about 6 inches from the end of the handlebars, meaning the mirror barely protrudes off the end of the handlebars, so the image in the mirror while I am on the bike is half filled with me. If the stalk had been long enough, that might not have been a problem.Secondly the semi-flexible stalk means the mirror vibrates quite readily depending on the road surface so is impossible to use on roads/surfaces less than perfect.Thirdly, due to the convex surface, it can be quite difficult at times to determine whether there are cars approaching or not (differentiating between parked cars and approaching). If the mirror is vibrating, then its next to impossible.

I found it a bit fiddly to attach but now that it is attached, I am pleased with the clearness and stability of the image.It looks less good when you first open the package that it actually is. The sturdy aluminium holding rod is stiff but easy to adjust and gives you confidence and the mirror moves within its holder, as most cars do now.I am very happy with this purchase.

good mirror, disappointing handlebar mount for the price, "screw it" to the handle bar and the fitting broke on one side, just a hollow plastic fitting "no washer" all I can say is "fit it every" carefully. if you have to buy this.

This appears a good sturdy mirror, which will attach to the drops on drop handle bars. It does not fit into the end of the handle bar, which may be an advantage for some, personally I find it a disadvantage as it means I cannot use all of the drops.It has a long arm, that could be bent into a position you prefer. I suspect it is best bent upwards, however I think it could be bent forwards and upwards if you wanted. The mirror can be angled both vertically and horizontally within the mirror casing, so you could adjust it to the view you want. Unfortunately I could not find any way to rotate the mirror and so the mirror can only be mounted on the drops, I think it would not work on MTB bars because they are at 90 degrees to the frame, not parallel.I sent mine back because I thought they would get inthe way at any point on the drops and without being able to rotate the mirror I could not mount the mirror elsewhere on the bars.
