Blackburn Bike Helmet Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to agree that the mirror 'arm' is too short.
However, my helmet is one of the larger made.
(Bell Faction Dave Mirra Multi-Sport)
I also think I should have purchased a mirror with a larger diameter.
Since the mirror arm and mount adjustment socket-balls have such
a limited range of movement, I had a very limited choice in where
the mirror base (double-sided-sticky) could be installed.
I have to look way up and left to see the mirror, and
that might take a lot of getting used to.
Had I been able to mount it lower, it would be easier
to use (without rolling my eyes so far over).While out riding today, I found that the mirror can be removed
from it's base. Built into the flat mounting section, there
are two little 'snaps' that hold two segments together.
While I was reaching up trying to adjust my view,
the whole thing popped off in my hand.
I snapped it back on later when we stopped for ice cream. :)
There is much more vibration ( = fuzzy vision) than
is seen in my handlebar mounted (Blackburn) mirror.
If you ride on bumpy roads a lot, forget this mirror!
If I get another one, It will be bigger and have a longer arm.

Blackburn Road Bike Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Sprintech Drop Bar Mirror, White, Pair Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have these mirrors on 3 bikes now and wouldn't use anything else.
They are easy to install (in about 5 minutes) They pop into your bar ends and have a round socket that lets them swivel in any direction. Unless you have really wide thighs, they show the whole road to left or right depending on which side they are on. I wouldn't change them for anything else. Once they are on your bike, they become like an integral part of it, not something sticking out or getting in the way.

These slick looking mirrors integrate beautifully with racing/road bike drop bars. They're very sleek looking and work great. They're not quite as big as the 3rd eye mirrors we also carry, but are lighter, more aero, and look much better integrated with the bars.

Cycleaware Reflex Bicycle Helmet Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had this product for more than 1 year. I'm an avid cyclist, 3 times a week, over 3,000 miles a year (OK, I'm retired) During the summer most of my cycling is on country roads so it's imperative that I see what's coming before I hear it. It works well once you get used to it. First you must set it up on your helmet. With some of today's designs this takes some thought, but stick with it (no pun intended). Then you must position it so it doesn't block your forward vision. Practice around the house or walking outdoors until you feel comfortable. The mirror arm is quite flexible & strong so it's easy to move. The oval shape gives a large view & the mirror design increases the depth of field to make it easy to see the approaching objects.As well the mirror itself swivels making it adjustable for anyone. If you have to move it to another helmet I found that several layers of 2 sided thick carpet tape worked just fine to secure the base. The mirror which snaps on a little ball joint at the end of the arm became sloppy so I wrapped a small piece of painter's tape around it. It's quite strong though as I found out when I took a tumble off my mountain bike. I cracked my helmet & ribs but the mirror stayed on in one piece. Would highly recommend this safety device to any cyclist whether you bike on roads or just a neighborhood trail. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as I feel you should be able to order additional arms and or mirrors as needed.

The Cycleaware Reflex Bicycle Helmet Mirror is the ultimate hassle-free solution for urban and recreational cyclists. The unique, "Gumby"-like Kraton covered wire makes this mirror the first (and only) flexible and fully adjustable helmet mirror. The large, oval-shaped mirror provides a generous field of view and its vertical aspect increases depth of field, so you'll be able to see a whole lot more than with other mirrors. The durable base can permanently adhere to all bicycle helmets and can be easily detached. At 0.7 ounces, it's so light that its weight is virtually unnoticeable to the wearer.
