Tiger Eye Bicycle Helmet Mirror (Chainring)

I love this type of mirror. Over many years, I have gone through three of this type of mirror (Monkey Mirror brand) and thought I would try a different brand to see if it was easier to position. I was disappointed that it was not, Making a mirror out of a wheel spoke sounds like a great idea, but this product is very, very hard to bend into position. I watched the company's video to make sure I was doing it right. The video shows a man bending the wire with his bare hands, but in reality, it takes a pair of heavy pliers. My husband and I both worked on getting this into position for a good 20 minutes, and it was still not right. Also, there appears to be too much wire used to hold the mirror onto the helmet, resulting in the mirror placement being too close to the face. Finally, I would have appreciated being able to pick out the design on the back of the mirror. I have nothing against the American flag, but it is not the look I want to wear.

When I first started using the product, I was very happy with its performance. But very soon after, I started to notice that there was a staining of the reflective surface inside the glass covering. The staining continued to grow, and has affected a large part of the reflective surface (see photo). I have ordered another mirror, and I guess I will have to try to seal the gap around the edges of the mirror prior to using to see if that stops the staining of the mirror. I only gave the product two stars because of the rapid degradation of the reflective surface.Update: TigerEye send me a new mirror to replace the degraded mirror. They recommend using nail polish to seal the edge of the mirror. I used an enamel spray paint, and will see if this helps. I have changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars because of good customer support and because I like the way the product performs.

This is the fourth Tiger Eye mirror that I have purchased - two each for my husband’s and my road and mountain bike helmets. They are so sturdy with the stainless steel bike spoke wire. The optics in the glass mirror are great as we ride in some busy roads. Mirrors that I bought prior to these couldn’t compare. My oldest Tiger Eye mirror is 8 years old. I just bought the two new ones for our new helmets. I included the photos to show how it installs on my Gyro helmet. It fits the same way on my Bontrager helmet. I highly recommend these mirrors.

I've owned 2 of these over the past 20yrs and after much abuse...I lost one and the other finally bit the dust. I was sooo glad to find these on Amazon. They are awesome and work great! I always attach mine to my helmets and then (as added security) I use a zip tie to make sure it doesn't go any where.

I ride my bike everyday and won’t ride without a tiger eye attached to my helmet. The rear view is excellent. Unfortunately the mirror rusts quickly probably from being touched with a sweaty hand to adjust when riding. I can’t get a full season before the mirror is so rusted the rear view is gone. A redesign to eliminate rusting is needed.

Does not stay in place even tho i got it tight,kept falling down,and this was ROAD biking,mirror is dinky,now i know why its called tiger eye

At first I really liked this mirror. I had some trouble positioning it, but once I got it right, it was great. The mirror was high quality, but the construction is terrible. After only a couple of months of use, I hit a small bump and the mirror went flying off and under the wheel of a car. The glue holding the mirror on must have been very degraded.Save your money on this one.

After a quick study of the directions, it installed quickly and easily. Last night I rode 17 miles in the dark on a busy country road and it worked very well. Crystal clear, minimum vibration, and seems strongly attached
