Mirrycle MTB Bar End Mountain Bicycle Mirror, Black

We now have this mirror on three of our bikes. That should tell you something.This mirror does require assembly before you can mount it to the bike. It arrives totally in pieces (see second photo). The instructions warn that tightening the two larger screws can be difficult as the screws are hard to turn, and the instructions are correct. I found it easier to grab a pair of pliers and grip the end of the mirror while I was using the supplied allen key to turn the screws. Note I protected the plastic finish by using a cloth between the pliers and the mirror. If you don't use something like pliers, it will be very hard to keep hold of the mirror while you turn the screws. The instructions are also correct in that the screws will "squeal" while screwing them in. Ignore their squeals of pain and just keep screwing - it gets easier to screw as you get close to the end. Don't tighten too tight at this stage since you will need some movement to adjust the mirror once you have installed it on the bike. WIth that caveat, assembly is quick, but be sure to follow the instruction photos about where to place the 6 supplied washers. Also be careful to fully insert the allen key into the screw head because if you don't get it fully inserted, it may round out the screw head (this is also covered by the instructions.Installation onto the bike is easy. They provide two mountings blocks for different size handlebars - my bike used the smaller one.Once installed, adjust the mirror to your desired field of view and then tighten the two big screws a little just to ensure the mirror stays in place.In use, it does what a mirror is supposed to do - it provides great rearward visibility. Unlike other mirrors that are mounted inboard of the hand grips on the handlebars, these bar end mirrors provide an unobstructed rear view behind the bike. The view is so good, I feel you only need one mirror on the bike (on the left side).Overall, I feel this is very good value for money and the functionality of the mirror is great. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this mirror.

This is the mirror I always buy for my bikes. Any time I have broken it by smacking a tree while riding in the woods or slamming the handlebar in the truck door, or just bought a new bike. This is the style mirror I prefer. It is unobtrusive, easy to install, sturdy, and offers a good adjustable steady view. I don't like to ride in city traffic at all without a left mirror! Highly recommend. Also a very good price.

These are great mirrors! This is my second one. They install fairly easily and securely inside the end of the handlebar. The mirror is easy to adjust and stays put once adjusted with variable adjustment tightness. The convex mirror provides ample view behind you. The only thing that some might not like is the mirror must have access to the hollow end of the handlebar tube. This generally involves cutting or drilling the handlebar grip. The grip on my new e-bike was easy to remove, after which I drilled a 3/4-inch hole through the end of the grip with a Forstner drill bit. I could have cut off the closed tip of the grip instead of drilling it, and this is what some might prefer to do. Good product!

After trying two other mirrors for my Lectric e-bikes, I came upon this gem. Unlike my previous mirror purchases, this mirror is sturdy, well designed and is adjustable. It stays in place when you adjust it before each ride and folds up when storing so it’s out of the way. East to assemble with good instructions provided. The mirror is high quality. Made in the USA!!

This is probably the best rear view mirror I have seen. It is ugly and sticks out, but works well and even though it will shake, it is large enough that I can still see whats going on back there. It will swing in when necessary, but does not flop around with every bump - though how tight or lose it is really depends on how it is set up when put together. The best part is, the parts are readily available for the mirror - I have broken the glass and bought that part for less than $5 shipped. Although I have broken the glass, I have to say I feel that is not a negative since any mirror that is any good will use glass. The glass does not appear to be safety glass however, but I don't know if that's typical of mirrors anyway.I measured the diameters of the two handlebar tube inserts included with the mirror as:13.68mm18.07mmThey include a hex wrench so no tools are need to install the mirror.As an aside, when I haul my dog trailer I supplement this mirror with a seat post mounted mobius actioncam (wide angle) connected to my phone using an otg cable and the Mobius USB Tools app for android. I also use an app to lock the screen to landscape mode. That combo makes for a rear view camera that displays on my phone which I mount to my handlebars (I use it for keeping an eye on my dog, but functionally it is similar to a mirror). I have found the phone to be easier to use for seeing directly behind vs the mirror since the field of view is greater - though there is a minor amount of lag. Unlike my phone/camera set up though, the Mirrycle mirror is always on and ready to ride.

I wish I had ordered this sooner! It works perfectly on my E-bike! Easy to install !

excellent mirror, they do not shake, rattle, or loosen up while you're riding. Fold in easily to transport or to go through tight areas, if tension on bolts is adjusted correctly. Highly recommend. very good view of the area behind you.

Works great, love having them makes riding MUCH safer
